MUU BLANCO ANACHRONIC MODERNISM

Muu Blanco creates hybrid pieces composed of fragmented and discarded toys and found objects as contemporary neo Duchampian ready-mades. His miniature sculptures conform infant creations of anti-esthetic values. He builds hybrid animal and human-like figures as undisguised and modified objects,  that recall blatant relics from an imaginary archeological site. Muu offers a highly saturated artifact with political charge. The pieces reflect a mortification of a being; somewhat like metamorphosed beasts. Multifarious forms of donkeys, dolls, dogs, horses, combined and transformed into entities of horror; revolt against taste and value markets. Muu dares to create monsters of epic allure. Each piece in its fragmentation and ambivalence collides with commonsense and rationality but it exhibits a fetishistic fascination. Its schizophrenic state narrates the abysses of the subconscious. In that gist, surreal associations come to mind in the most neo Dadaist tradition of the 21st century.
