Jorge L. Porrata

My art work explores the relationships between text and image in a bilingual context.
Issues of identity, spirituality, the role of an artist as an individual and as a social entity are
also among my concerns. With poetical and political overtones, sometimes humorous, I confront
 through my art forms of status quo. I explore different media for getting the most suitable way
to convey my messages. From etchings to installation/performance my art work intends to build
 a space for reflection as well as to bring down the barriers that hold up communication
and connection among us.

Artwork is on display at El Ojito Springs Gallery, 45 N. 6th Avenue, Tucson Arizona
