About
Decentered Studio is thrilled to present the works of Pablo Moisés Ruiz Arroyo for his solo show Changing Faces: Exploring the Portrait.
The evening will feature an aritst talk from Pablo, live music from our resident music collective Black Hole Harvest, light refreshments and cozy vibes.
“Raiz” also known as Pablo Moisés Ruiz Arroyo -a muralist inspired by surrealism- started his career in La Paz, Bolivia. His hometown is a place of many indigenous cultures, and a huge inspiration to his art and life. Pablo embarked on a year-long journey to migrate from Bolivia to California by traveling over land, and supported himself with murals, street performance, and chalk art along the way.
Upon settling in California, opportunities for mural work took him global,including Australia, South East Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore), New Zealand, Central America, and Europe. Now back in San Francisco Pablo collaborates with local organizations such as Precita Eyes Muralists, Mission Housing, Mission Cultural Center, The
Center for Independent Living, The San Francisco Arts Commission, and many others. His mission is to beautify communities for the benefit of its people.
Together with Pancho Pescador he co-founded “Chilovia,” a portmanteau of Chile + Bolivia, and tribute to their two home
countries. He got his BA in fine arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009 with a focus
on communication arts.
Changing Faces: Exploring the Portrait is a collection of various figurative pieces done throughout the years in many different mediums and sizes. My connection to every piece I have ever created has always had a simple starting point: who is this? I strongly believe that everything I paint is a reflection and comparison of myself and the world. So many times I
imagine the changing spirit of a person and how I connect to them. In a few instances I have made self portraits hidden as something else. As I proceed through the push and pull of creating a piece of work, I often think of how I can depict the powerful constant change I see in the world
and in people.
Musical guest Black hole harvest creates music at the intersection of creation and destruction, inspired by the concept of the event horizon where all genres and concepts, order and disorder, past and future, are suspended and coexist, on the verge of dissipating into nothingness.
