The work of Francisco Lopez represents a search into forms of visual mythology. His instinct for manipulating images from popular culture leads to a transformative process that reinvests the original with meaning. Francisco Lopez’s video, Telepathic Numbness presents appropriated footage from the campy 1970’s children’s show ElectraWoman and DynaGirl – with each frame slowed down and formally manipulated by the artist. This exhaustive artistic effort overlays a scene in which the wholesome protagonist (DynaGirl) is overtaken by Evil. Such simplistic struggles, the battles between good and evil, right and wrong, dominate.

popular entertainment – with the result of reducing life to a series of either/or choices. Lopez undoes that simplicity.

Francisco Lopez graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in 1996. His work has recently been screened at the Boston ICA and the Festival del Cinema Latino Americano in Triest, Italy. His work has recently been exhibited at the Consulate of Venezuela in New York and Transhudson Gallery in New York.
