reviews

"The dramatic game of large flat surfaces, dark and distressed, painted with dry or bright blacks, or white nickel textures, in contrast to small static figures, almost happy, or rather sad, but dressed in multiple colors give us the feeling of solitary landscape and the man of these high and cold lands, more than 3,000 meters high. Stormy spaces surround these humble beings, hanging from nothing. Bloody tears, fabrics that lost their whiteness; black on black; red on red; bitumen newspapers that at the end of the day dirty and old; objects unexpectedly crushed in a hard space, are the introverted and substantial world that this creator named Viteri gives us. But again the unexpected, bursts of color, all light; sensations of squares of Andean towns on Sundays, colorful masses. Another scheme, this time that of an extroverted being. Everything extreme, without average terms. What an intricate and inconstant world that of a creator! "

Oswaldo Guayasamín, 1973
