Jorge Tacla (Chile, b. 1958)
Coagulacion, 1994
Oil on jute linen
43 in x 35 in
Though his paintings have evolved from early depictions of agonized and
abject humans to more recent scenes of desolate deserts and architectural
and urban ruins, Jorge Tacla has always sought to expose the turbulence
of history and how it has shaped contemporary society, physically and
psychologically. Tacla’s paintings oscillate between abstraction and
representation. In series like “Rubble Series I” (2011), he fills canvases
with rubble-reduced cities and crumbling buildings that resemble torn flesh
and ragged clothing—a searing vision of the accumulated wounds of war,
emerging from the initial appearance of allover abstraction.
