Description from the seller
Filcer
Untitled
Mixed-media on paper
66 x 66 cm (image 36 x 31 cm)
Luis Filcer (Zhytomyr, Ukraine, 1927 – 2018, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico) was an Mexican expressionist visual artist. Filcer began his career as an artist in Mexico, where he fled with his family in 1928 when he was only six months old due to the persecution of the Jewish population following the Russian Revolution. At the age of sixteen, he started studying at the Academia de San Carlos in Mexico City. In the mornings, he attended classes, and in the afternoons, he worked on his paintings and drawings.
In his artistic practice, Filcer was strongly influenced by the life of Vincent van Gogh and he addressed themes such as injustice and struggle in everyday life. He was also an admirer of the artists Francisco Goya and José Clemente Orozco. Subjects that Filcer depicted included, among others, the Tlatelolco Massacre of 1968, the casinos in Las Vegas, the Mexican Revolution of 1910, and the Mexico City Metro. Filcer's work shows no idealism, but examines justice and injustice in order to provoke change.
Filcer lived and worked in the Netherlands for over twenty years, most of which was in De Rijp (NH). His work has been exhibited more than 340 times in leading museums and galleries around the world.
The work comes from the artist's heirs.
