Broken Record stems from Angel Otero’s abstract recollections of his childhood in Puerto Rico.

A trio of luminous blue chairs stand in for the artist’s family members – calling to notions of presence, absence and a universal domestic familiarity. In a return to the intuitive gestures used to create the original painting, each print from the edition has been uniquely hand-finished in Otero’s New York studio.

"These are not necessarily stories that I feel have a beginning and an end, or a subject that needs to be addressed. It’s more like using my work as a trampoline towards a self-thought or a self-question – of ourselves."

Medium

Full bleed archival pigment print on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper with 9 silkscreen layers – individually hand-finished by the artist in wax pencil and paint marker.

Behind the scenes

Angel Otero2 collaborationsAngel Otero pushes the limits of painting – unravelling history as he goes. Large-scale abstract works cascade forth from their canvases with almost sculptural form, while energetic mark-making and vivid colour palettes evoke the language of Abstract Expressionism. Although the artist considers his work oil painting, it involves a multitude of techniques including collage, assemblage, spray-paint and resin. He has also developed a signature technique creating ‘oil skins,’ which are large sheets of dried oil paint. These are cut, layered and distorted to form new surfaces for expression. Otero pulls inspiration from across the arts, history and life. Often referencing family photographs and memories, he combines personal archives with formal experimentation.
