“This painting is an improvised composition using layers of “vectors” and shifting positive and negative space. The safety red color in the background and the two blues tones are colors used for labeling laboratory and factory safety equipment. The black and white “gaseous blobs” and amorphous shapes reference chemical reactions as well as optical phenomena associated with various states of matter.” Vargas-Suarez Universal
VSU installations, wall drawings and paintings seem a result of intensive scientific-style research. To create his works–large-scale wall paintings, installations, sound-installations and drawings–the artist utilizes different materials. His wall paintings, permanent or temporary, are made on real walls or their photographic reproductions. The artist paints and draws on pictures of buildings and fashion models, surfaces which are otherwise difficult to obtain as a canvas.
