    UnframedThe more transcendental the representation, the more it tends to evoke it through its prodigies. Such is the case of the Double standard series in the words of the artist "It is a process of visual archeology through a search for human representations conditioned by their ritual, aesthetic or utilitarian meaning where a resignification of beauty patterns is proposed, a game with female representation with its multiple meanings, functions and forms”James Bonachea combines the same motif separated by different forms of representation. The double standard announces a double reading of the original meaning of an image, a polysemic game of signifiers. Doble standard's proposal is an artisan of artisans: it summarizes the wisdom of concretism in time through the human figure and the object as a poetic expression of the time in which Bonachea's works take place.The discovery of that other time in James' drawings is torn between the earth and the cosmos and each canvas leads us to live a supreme and genuine exercise in trajectories.This is how the autonomy of the artist is manifested through his proposal as a trigger not only for the passage of man and the sign in time but also for the interrogation of the opposites that the work of James Bonachea questions.Saul Reyna

  • Bonachea studied at the Escuela Profesional de Artes Oscar Fernandez Morera, in Trinidad, Sancti Spíritus and the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana. He was part of the DUPP and Enema collectives, as well as Tania Bruguera’s Cátedra Arte de Conducta, in Havana. He has had several solo exhibitions in Cuba and Mexico, and he has participated in the Mercosul and Liverpool Biennials. From performance to drawing, his curiosity for revisiting the remote past has made him enter dialogues of historical vision and present condition of reality, giving as a result discursive forms that complement a universe of anachronic new meanings.
