ABOUT THE WORK

          Notable for his body of work that employs mirrors as a way to  incorporate the reflection of the viewer into the pictorial space,  Arturo Sanchez Jr, furthers his experimentation and utilizes sculpted pieces of metal. <br>           This time, the artist extends reality into the figurative image by using fragments of metal that have been theoretically emanating from the old man's body <br>           These shards, rather than as free-floating agents, are bearers  of images, possibly snippets of memory rushing towards the figure  in the work.  The old man seems to have been awaiting this  encounter. Gesturing at the notion that we see our life in a flash  when we die.  On a clear day you can see eternity is an allegory  of time and space, and our lives within it.<br>
