"EMPLOYING NON-LINEAR DIALOGUE STYLES, THEATRICAL DISGUISE, MASKS AND REFERENCES TO AMBIGUOUS PHYSICAL SHAPES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL STATES OF MINDS THROUGHOUT HIS MULTIDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE, HE IRRITATES AND SUBVERTS ESTABLISHED POWER RELATIONS AND CONVENTIONS WITHIN A HETERONORMATIVE WESTERN SURROUNDING WHILE CRITICALLY FAMILIARIZING IT WITH SUBJECTS THAT PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN OTHERED AND DISMISSED IN GLOBAL HISTORY WRITING."
- NUMÉRO BERLIN #10, SPRING-SUMMER 2021
尼古拉斯·格拉菲亚(1990年生于菲律宾安赫勒斯市)对现有的历史存档进行干预,将研究、流行文化以及个人经历和艺术史交织,产生出明亮的视觉作品,并通过审视构成历史档案的诸多叙事、以及被纳入其中和排除在外在的个体,来探讨种族和性别的脆弱性。格拉菲亚使用跨学科的工作方法,在行为艺术和绘画领域将酷儿视觉符号与历史图像学并置,发展出其以圆润纤长的形状为特色的视觉风格,采用坎普风格的品红和淡彩色,参考了荒诞主义,并从对后殖民理论的深入阅读中获取灵感。
