Ángel Pantoja exhibits "Mitologías del presente" at Sala Atín Aya in Seville.
A multifaceted, nonconformist artist, the Sevillian Ángel Pantoja uses photo collage to bring us closer to such current issues as gender identity, the environment or unsustainable consumption...Currently, you can go to view his collection ¿Mitologías del presente¿ at Sala Atín Aya in Seville
¿Mitologías del presente¿ is the latest from his brilliant mind... Ángel Pantoja¿s perspective on today¿s world. Always coming from a place of irony and humour. ¿A very important weapon¿, assures the artist, ¿because humour indicates intelligence, humour can transform things¿
The vindicating humour of a multifaceted artist, a multidisciplinary creator that, he asserts, becomes bored with working in only one medium... ¿I¿ve done television scripts, I¿ve written cinema scripts, I¿ve written for radio, I¿ve done graphic design, illustration for major newspapers and major magazines, and my main passion is Art...", he says.
Art is his way of approaching and, incidentally, laughing at the concept of gender binarism... A collection, in the end, that is no stranger to irrational consumerist madness, or to environmental disaster, although always with a glimmer of hope, which Ángel Pantoja symbolises in the portrait of Mariola Fuentes as the Goddess Gaia.
