Each piece in the VORTEX series draws from meticulously curated visual fragments sourced from vintage magazines, catalogues, comics, and newspapers dating back to the 1930s. By integrating these relics of past eras, Iskar constructs intricate compositions where historical fragments collide with modern concepts, creating a bridge across time. The works function as kaleidoscopic portals, inviting viewers to engage with their own memories and interpretations, discovering new meanings within each layer.
In this exhibition, Iskar’s pieces immerse the viewer in a world where images transform and evolve, reflecting the fluidity of our understanding of history and culture. Through spiraling forms and vibrant colors, the works evoke a sense of being drawn into a vortex—a space where diverse elements converge, clash, and redefine each other. Each piece encourages viewers to lose themselves in the intricate compositions, where symbols and imagery from various epochs come together to form narratives that are both personal and universal.
While Iskar remains based in Guadalajara, his work has a global resonance, attracting collectors from the United States and beyond. "Vortex: A Journey Through Time and Memory" provides a unique opportunity to experience his work in a digital setting, where each detail is available for close examination, revealing unexpected connections and symbols with every view. The series engages the human experience, using visual language to evoke nostalgia, provoke reflection, and prompt viewers to consider how the past informs the present.
