Ricardo Mazal Noviembre 3 2003, Oil on Linen 96" x 130"
Ricardo Mazal Born in Mexico City in 1950 Mazal moved to Barcelona Spain in 1986, and since 1990 has lived and worked in New York City, as well as Santa Fe New Mexico.
Mazal’s work explores the process of visual perception as it takes form in the human consciousness. His paintings depict the passage of time, not by illustrating events but by leaving their residue to dissipate in space like a still photograph of a speeding object blurred to abstraction.
Ricardo is the recipient of many awards including a Jackson Pollack Foundation grant. A major retrospective of his paintings was held at the MARCO Museum, Monterrey Mexico, 2000. An additional major retrospective was held at the Museum of Modern Art, Mexico City, 2006. The 10 photographs published by Santa Fe Editions were included in 'Palenque- The Red Queen' exhibition at the Scottsdale Museum, 2006.
