Lobsang Durney, Alcazabot Original Lithograph Signed and Numbered, Exclusively on LYNART !!

The imagination is not content with the limits imposed by reality. 

It has the ability to create other parallel worlds. That is magic. 

Lobsang has developed his own line: selected environments, elaborate staging, the transmission of a message, freedom of interpretation of that message emanating from the heart of Valparaíso.   The message is definitely related to its Chilean origins but ultimately, outside of its context, it belongs only to the imagination of its spectator.

In his latest exhibition “Doble Estandar” ("Double Standards"), Lobsang raises the question of economic power that, at present, permeates all life experiences, unifying them.  Optimistically, we give in to a schizophrenic exercise of consuming and being consumed.  We move between impossible sincerity and false flattery, between the voracious eagerness of success or its weak simulation. 

Suppressed bodies, demolished architecture, and the miseries and contradictions of the social corpus are revealed in the art of the exhibition. The artist has removed the veils, exposing to light a bizarre socioeconomic entity that, as Mark Fisher defines it: “infinitely plastic, capable of metabolizing and absorbing any object with which it makes contact".  Lobsang's machinery alludes to a dreamlike detritus culture. Located on the periphery of degradation, organic-mechanical contraptions refer, as Burroughs says, to "a soft machine", in useless struggle against the entropic dispersion of its parts.
