Fermin Fleites - Recent Work

The leitmotif in my works is the exploration of the defining roles of cultural diversity and individualism that make us human. In 1999 I traveled to the Peruvian Amazon, jungle in order to complete a master degree in Cultural Anthropology and Media. My travels and studies provided me the opportunity to test my thesis about the social function of art in societies different than ours. This investigation focused on those resistance and folklorization mechanisms that indigenous groups utilize in response to external incursions and influences.

Ordered Chaos

Fermin Fleites’ has the ability to bring together seemingly unrelated visual styles in an “ordered chaos” that make us jump from classical Greek and German Renaissance images to the most contemporary art forms, such as installations or conceptual art. In the process, his well informed gaze directs us to popular products and images associated with symbols, rituals, and magical beliefs practiced through time.

Contemporary Art Work

Contemporary Art from 1980

Would you believe it, Ariadna? The Minotaur scarcely defended himself.

Imagine a world where we all have the same problems but we call them differently. Imagine, thousands of people calling the same God by different names and undertaking deeds in his honor. Imagine having the same concerns as the ancient inhabitants of Ethiopia or the current Machiguengas of the Urubamba River basin. Welcome to the world we live in. A world in which the same stories are recovered again and again and intertwined, no matter how much Artificial Intelligence we may be training at this moment, at the core of this human is that same human who asked the Sun for better harvests.

The Habit of Drawing Everything

I present to you my work, a vision of Art, from the perspective of Cultural Anthropology, from the barbarism of Culture itself. A journey of discovery that began in a forgotten place in the Insular Caribbean, passing through the Peruvian Amazon, to reach The Melting Pot of today’s America.
In my work, dear reader, you can find experiences interacting with different cultural groups with the estrangement of the visitor who arrives, and with the difficulty of the child who does not know how to read and is locked in a library where all the books tell a story and he must find out what story it is. Because in the end all stories are the same story.

You can also find a deep respect for techne and the habit of drawing everything, perhaps inspired by the Andean shamans who resist being photographed because it stops them. You will also be part of an original time where the past and the future are just nuances of a continuous present that is nowhere.

Mixed Techniques

Interwoven Stories

Compiling stories will always have an implicit share of arrogance, since you run the risk of leaving out important details. Intertwining them, on the other hand, will always allow you to move as if inside a labyrinth where for each route that comes to an end, hundreds of other routes unfold. And that is the spirit with which I would like you to look at this work, with the certainty that to understand it you will have to take hold of your own ball and enter the labyrinth.

The Winner

This sculpture is a re-creation of a key symbol of humanity’s great religions throughout history: a symbol that demarcate the birth of symbolic sacrifice, and simultaneously its disruption.

Fermin Fleites Cymatics

Harmony in Yellows is a series of artworks that delves into the fascinating field of cymatics, or the study of how vibrations and sound waves can shape and influence the physical world. These works, numbered [16], are inspired by the frequencies of musical compositions by Debussy and Wagmer played on the cello. The main motivation behind this series is to explore the intersection between art and the unpredictable phenomena of nature, using Cymatics as a tool for investigation and representation.

Diary of a Cunning Coward show the ways in which we construct identity from the perspective of a “participant observer.” If we assume culture as a creative and living process with its own consciousness, based on survival, we can define a series of archetypes that, just as it happens in each of us separately, are happening in unison.
“Diary of a Cunning Coward” is a series of 12 drawings and twelve bronze sculptures. The drawing is chosen for being that first basic instinct of recording reality with charcoal and the bronze sculpture for its desire to transcend time.
