"Reflections of an Unfiltered Society" – An Exclusive Online Exhibition Featuring the Works of Jorge Morán
IF6WAS9 Gallery is proud to announce an exclusive online exhibition titled "Reflections of an Unfiltered Society" featuring eight powerful works by acclaimed Mexican painter Jorge Morán. The exhibition, available on both if6was9.art (http://if6was9.art) and Artsy.net, will run from September 24 to November 5, 2024.
Known for his provocative commentary on social and political issues, Morán (b. 1987, Michoacán, Mexico) uses his distinctive blend of neo-expressionism and pop art to challenge the norms of contemporary society. This latest collection, "Reflections of an Unfiltered Society," continues his exploration of the raw truths underlying daily life, exposing the intricate and often overlooked dynamics of power, exploitation, and ambition.
Each painting in this series presents a different facet of the modern human experience, confronting themes ranging from the relentless demands of labor to the pursuit of status at the expense of others. In "Rey popitas", Morán critiques the moral compromises and ethical questions that accompany the ascent to power, challenging viewers to consider the impact of ambition on those who have been trampled along the way.
Other pieces, such as "La vida no es un carnaval", reflect the universal exhaustion of modern life, offering a stark yet intimate look at the pressures and emotional toll of routine. Meanwhile, works like "Salud, dinero y amor" provide a subtle critique of society’s growing obsession with certainty, truth, and illusion in a world dominated by digital influence and superficiality.
Throughout this collection, Morán’s mastery of color, texture, and irony invites viewers to confront uncomfortable truths, encouraging reflection on the social, political, and personal implications of our collective behaviors. His works are more than visual critiques—they are provocations that engage the mind, challenging us to see beyond the surface and contemplate the deeper consequences of our actions.
Morán’s work has been celebrated internationally, with collectors from Belgium, the U.S., the Netherlands, and Scotland, and his pieces held in prestigious collections like the Museo Internacional de Arte (MINART) in Mexico. "Reflections of an Unfiltered Society" marks a significant new chapter in his career, bringing his sharp observations and distinctive visual style to a global online audience.
