Carlos Amorales was born in 1970 in Mexico City, Mexico, where he continues to live and work.
Amorales uses a broad range of media, including performance, animation and installation. His narrative-based practice often involves recounting stories into which he weaves characteristic symbols drawn from his native Mexican culture. His works are dark, poetic fantasies that allegorically represent scenarios of social injustice. They depict pared-down worlds in which the forces of good and evil face off under the same mask, whether in the guise of silhouettes against a graphic backdrop, or real lucha libre wrestlers fighting inside a live ring, as with "Amorales vs. Amorales" (1999).
The artist describes himself as a director. For "Dark Mirrors" (2005), he commissioned an animator and a score-composer to produce a video using his personal archive of images. His practice also includes running a production studio as well as the record label ‘Nuevos Ricos’.
Carlos Amorales has recently presented solo exhibitions at the Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach (2010), Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel (2009), Sala Verónicas, Murcia (2009), MeetFactory Gallery, Prague (2009), the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania (2008), the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, Ohio (2008) and at Yvon Lambert, London (2008).
His work has been shown as part of “A Certain State of the World?” at Garage Center for Contemporary Culture - GCCC, Moscow (2009), Performa 07, New York (2007), “Historias Animadas” at Caixa Forum, Barcelona, and Sala Rekalde, Bilbao, Spain and Le Fresnoy, Tourcoing, France (2006), “Propria Visión / Our Vision” at The Queens Museum of Art, New York (2006) and “The Pantagruel Syndrome”, T3 – Torinotriennale tremusei, Turin (2005).
His major performance project with traditional Mexican wrestlers has been exhibited in the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and Tate Modern, London (2003). The same year he represented The Netherlands in the exhibition “We are the World” as part of the 50th Venice Biennale, Venice (2003).
Carlos Amorales is represented by Yvon Lambert, Paris, London and New York, Annet Gelink Gallery, Amsterdam, and Kurimanzutto, Mexico City.
