HIJO DE LA CHICHARRA

The Hill Street Country Club presents recent works

by Juan Beaz

Can you expand on your piece ‘Waiting on a Transmission’?

Waiting on a Transmission is based on the notion of longing for a signal from somewhere distant or unreachable. Sometimes all you can do is sit around and wait, so you’ll do it from the highest point you can reach.

Like the majority of the pieces in ‘Hijo de la Chicharra’, this piece was created using cardboard cutouts, inking them, and applying them onto a surface in the same way you would with any other relief-printing process. Beaz creates with sustainability and practicality in mind. His minimalistic approach to art making translates his honest, simple, and demonstrative view of the human experience.
