@SaveArtSpace: Looking In

Selected Artist & Location
@enio.ag
Steinway St & 23rd Rd, Queens, NY

Artist Statement:
My practice is rooted in play as a way of accessing subconscious impulses and drawing the viewer into a game whose rules are not immediately clear. I make automatic drawings daily, letting intuition lead. While my work is figurative, it resists accurate representation. I construct a deliberately childlike visual language, pairing it with carefully researched color palettes drawn from historical images and visual traditions. I use this seemingly naïve language to approach darker aspects of the human experience: desire, pain, violence, oppression, and fear. I am interested in poking at the viewer in subtle, almost incidental ways, letting unease accumulate until it becomes difficult to ignore. My practice develops through experimentation as I move between drawing, painting, and small-scale sculpture, using conventional, self-made, and found materials. I create in series, and each project becomes an obsession: I find myself reading for hours, spending entire days inside museums, or flipping through endless images. I embed biographical symbols into the work, allowing personal references to accumulate meanings beyond their original context. What first appears as a field of strawberries gradually reveals itself as a scene of violence.

Selected artist is Enio Arroyo Gomez @enio.ag with his painting titled "Ladron de casas" (House thief)

"Looking In" explores what it means to observe from a distance—through windows, thresholds, memories, cultures, and personal experiences. The exhibition invited artists to consider the spaces between public and private, insider and outsider, visibility and mystery. taken in New York, New York by @enio.ag

Banana Warhol I, 2016

14 x 11 in. / 35.56 x 27.94 cm

Banana Warhol I, produced in 2016, is part of the BROTES (“Sprouts”) series. The series emerged from Enio’s fascination with the primitive line, drawing inspiration from the Chamacocos Indigenous people of Paraguay and from the research of psychologist Rhoda Kellogg, whose studies explored the universal nature of children’s scribbles. While the BROTES series initially appears playful and naive, it subtly engages with much more complex themes. In Banana Warhol I, the banana may first be read as a familiar, lighthearted fruit associated with childhood. Yet it also evokes Andy Warhol’s iconic Pop imagery, inviting associations with consumer culture, mass production, and the commercialization of everyday objects—hallmarks of Western capitalism. Seen through a Latin American lens, however, the banana also recalls the history of colonial exploitation, economic dependency, and political corruption associated with the so-called ‘banana republics.’

In 2016, BROTES was shown in a month-long solo exhibition at the Costa Rica National Gallery, which subsequently acquired 15 works for its permanent collection.

Enio Arroyo Gomez (b. 1982, Costa Rica), currently based in Colombia, uses play to access subconscious impulses and test how images reshape reality. Through drawing as a daily ritual, he constructs a deliberately naïve visual language that resists conventional representation while masking deeper tensions. Working across media, he explores desire, violence, and fear through distorted figures and allegory, where seemingly innocent scenes reveal underlying psychological and moral conflict. taken in Henry Street (Manhattan) by @enio.ag

July 10 to Aug 14. @mcbride_dillman
195 Henry St. NYC

Taking its title from the spirit of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Midsummer brings together artists whose work navigates the space between reality and imagination, instability and transformation. The exhibition explores what emerges when familiar structures begin to loosen and new ways of seeing become possible.
