Betsabeé Romero, Under the Gaze of Memory

Résumé

The Mexican visual artist Betsabeé Romero1 expresses herself through different artistic mediums - painting, photography, collage, serigraphy, sculpture - but her favorite material is the car and all the parts and accessories that constitute it. Since the beginning of her career, the artist has resorted to non-conventional supports - textiles, plastics, braided or knitted rush mats - because painting is the art of galleries, the art that always attracts the same public: museum-goers. For Romero, art is not a separate world functioning behind closed doors, since it must play a genuine social role in the human community. The artist becomes the witness and the critical eye of the society in which he/she lives. An awakener of consciences through her installations that commemorate the fate of immigrants, and at the same time, the guardian of memory on account of her work on the pre- Columbian past, Betsabeé Romero presents her works as if they were mirrors helping us to take a better look at reality. For this reason, her visual universe places the viewer in a situation of amazing familiarity reflecting both our everyday life and environment, and the social problems that can be found in modern society.
