¿Por qué la escultura en madera en el arte actual? Estudios y trabajos de Damián Sinchiq y su contemporaneidad en el arte y la escultura

Abstract

This labor is about the contextual and factual analysis that is present in the sculptural process and some artistic exercises or expressions that were good tools for Damain SinchiQ to create his handiwork. This labor is based on three axles: the journey of the language inside the artist; the craft, the techniques and techné and the object as essence of the sculptural craft. On the first axle the artist talk about the different plastic languages that SinchiQ covers before he could find his own mark. Inside the topics of the language there are some referent aspects like the family as well as the academic and professional issues that leads him to form himself so that he put some philosophical important conceptual bases to begin his work. In this philosophic ideas we found Mainstream or mass' culture. The second axle is directed to the craft of the artist which in this study the artist calls "techné" making emphasis on the knowing and the doing of his craft. On the third axle the artist bases the result of the previous axles starting from the daily industrialized object, which means the use of the object starting from the aesthetic and cultural background to transform it and to play with its meaning so that the result could be hiperealistic sculptures that can converted into playful constructions or with an interactive character. Finally this thesis flows on the compilation of technique records of the sculptors' work made since 2010 until 2016.
