Ariel Vargassal"Tangled" Hyperrealistic Narrative Monkey Acrylic on Canvas Framed Painting
About the Item
"Tangled" is a framed acrylic work on canvas by Ariel Vargassal, depicting a figure in a suit tangled in yarn while also holding aloft a spider monkey. The hyperrealistic style includes a stunning amount of detail, with attention given to every hair of the monkey's fur and the human's head. Vargassal's paintings often have uncanny narrative elements, fitting them squarely into the Magical Realism genre.
From the artist about this piece: "Sometimes we get or feel trapped by the webs of our own doubts or troubles. The same mischievous inner self (the spider monkey) that gets us in this position will help us to get us out of being tangled. Face and make a friend of your inner self, and together resolve the puzzles to free yourself."
This piece is finished in a silver floater frame with subtle beveling and a black woodgrain effect along the frame’s interior and sides. Pricing includes the pictured frame. Unframed dimensions are 48 x 60 inches.
More about the artist: Ariel Vargassal was born into a family of richly mixed culture. These cultural singularities introduced Ariel to undeniable senses of style. He always leaned towards the arts, and when he was not molding small clay sculptures, he turned to countless drawings in his notebook.
Therefore, it was logical that Ariel study at the University of Mexico to earn a Bachelor's of Fine Art. In studying the works of the great artists who preceded him, his passion ignited and his determination proved unstoppable. Upon graduation, Ariel became one of the youngest teachers to teach art at a high school in Mexico City, and had the opportunity to showcase his work in different places, including the prestigious Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros.
His first international exhibition was in Salt Lake City, Utah during the Winter Olympic Games as a host of the city, representing the visual arts of Mexico. After this exhibition, Ariel received invitations to showcase his work in area galleries as well as offers elsewhere in the US, so he decided to move to Los Angeles. Vargassal’s work has been seen in various digital publications, books, and television programs. In addition, he has been fortunate to work with young Hollywood stars as his models and clients.
Apart from Mexico City, Salt Lake City, and Los Angeles, Ariel has shown his work in Arizona, San Francisco, and New York. He is a member of the Los Angeles Art Association, one of the oldest and most prestigious art associations on the West Coast. He worked with International Curators in early 2013, his work was presented at the International Surrealism Exhibition in Lisbon, Portugal, and he recently received invitations to exhibit in Canada, Germany, and France.
