Unaesthetic ghost:

Unaesthetic ghost is the glow that hides a teenegers face, when she is doing a selfie in front of the mirror, before upload it in her Fotolog count; it is the lost time by that boy in Animeforum, helping to the rest of community to obtain a more quantity of experience in Final Fantasy X; or the malware that accompanied the porn video that you downloaded from Emule, when you only wanted the chapter 156 of Naruto.

The 2K years are back, the occidental contemporary culture is being impregnated by first decade aesthetics of second millennium after death of our seivor, the postinternet imaginary is drinking from what a few years ago would have taken as unaesthetic trash.

Unaesthetic ghost is a “trash art” exhibition that make reference to already said imaginary, using those representative elements of the last decade such as fire, metal, tribal tattoo, japanese animation or chroma and fluor colors, as mainly influence to generate GIFS and images compositions.

Diego Flores

Diego flores is a multidisciplinary artist born in a small and remote village of Extremadura, Spain, when he currently lives. He lived there most of his life, with the exception of four years, in which he studied Fine Arts in Cuenca (UCLM).

The basis of his work is the result of the collision between two elements which serves as structure of everything that conforms it, on one hand, the graffiti, with which does not keep nowadays a conceptual but rather formal link, extracting and abstracting the writing and drawing that are its own; on the other hand, the internet, the video games, new media and industrial design, having as references: Firsts video games with 3d animation, japanese animation, internet “trash” design, robotics and cyborg, the new aesthetics created from musical genres like “vaporwave” and in short, all the imaginary born of the most current way to conceiving the internet. the consequence of such influence, the result, gives rise to a work represented by the disciplinary variety, ranging from painting and drawing, to appropriation of physical and virtual objects buyed and found on the network, creation of GIF files and 3d animation, passing through mural and canvas painting using as main tool: marker, spray, 3d software and long sessions of diving inside the immense virtual sea.
