Lexygius Sanchez Calip’s work is an archive of his an ongoing inquiry on the overlooked aspects and potential of art, through applications of a reimagined art practice approach that holds to question conventional thought and art making methodologies. They are centered on gestures, cultivating playful (mischievous) and clever, often indistinguishable, yet critical context driven incitements. Through intuitive and conceptually driven interventions and provocations, the philosophical and trivial characteristic of his process, which he regards as dialogues, highlight the temporal, the spatial, and the natural—overlooked qualities of spaces and places familiar to us. They convey metaphorical interpretations; a deeper look on the undeniable truths and realities of contemporary existence we all share and endure. His trivial and gestural application carries the promise of reassessing: why art is made, how it can be made, and what kind of knowledge is produced from an alternative and non-conforming perspective. The emphasis on the nuances and simplicity of gestures is a provocation that aims to expand the parameters of his knowledge and understanding of the world beyond himself, towards a thoughtful and a more autonomous practice that can efficiently respond to, and with, engaged initial environments.
—”My practice is where my art and philosophy are in accord. It is where they are malleable, yielding each other’s form. It is where my sensibilities discern into something tangible, and how that form it takes becomes wiser and clever. A palimpsest, where the invisible is felt, heard, and seen again—where its wary presence gleams a profound consciousness.”
