Pablo López Luz

Terrazo

Pablo López Luz

Pablo López Luz. Carretera México - Cuernavaca, 2007

My specific intention is to re-interpret the classical notion of the mexican landscape (present throughout the pictorical history of mexican art), through a contemporary point of view, brought about by the presence of man and his relationship to his surroundings. Pablo López Luz LensScratch

Mexican photographer Pablo López Luz’s Terrazo is a body of work that presents viewers with the realities of urbanization and unmitigated urban sprawl in Mexico. With images of Acapulco and Mexico City, López Luz offers striking views of endless development while raising questions on the consequences of urban growth.

Through López Luz’s pictures the natural world becomes decimated by urbanization, forcing a reflection on the relationship between population growth, social class and the fragility of nature amidst a world of concrete and pavement. While López Luz spotlights contemporary Mexico, his work in fact confronts global issues, prompting us to consider the effects of rapid and seemingly endless development.

Artist

Pablo López Luz

1979 (Mexico)

Pablo López Luz is a Mexican artist based in Mexico City. López Luz grew up in an artistic family, becoming acquainted with celebrated Mexican photographers such as Graciela Iturbide, whose influence on the young Pablo was considerable. In 2006, after studying communications, he earned a master’s degree in art at New York University and the International Center of Photography in New York.

His work takes inspiration from the Mexican landscape tradition. He is best known for his aerial photographs of Mexico City, a global city undergoing rapid and chaotic growth. He has also explored the links between history and the contemporary world, including questioning Mexican national identity. Pablo López Luz received a scholarship from the Casa Velázquez (Madrid) in 2005 and the Jóvenes Creadores grants of the FONCA in Mexico in 2007 and 2011.

He has held numerous solo exhibitions in Mexico, including Ciudad de México at the gallery Arena (2007), Terrazo at the Casa del Lago (2006), Al final… El horizonte at the Museo Archivo de la Fotografìa (2011), Ciudades y memoria at the Centro Fotográfico Álvarez Bravo (2012), and Pyramid at Arroniz Arte Contemporáneo (2013), which was followed by a publication of the same name in 2014.

He has also participated in the collective exhibitions América Latina 1960-2013 (2013) at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris (also presented the following year at the Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico), Urbes Mutantes (2014) at the International Center of Photography in New York, and Develar y Detonar (2015) at the Centro Palacio de Cibeles in Madrid, presented as part of PhotoEspaña, Pulsions Urbaines (2017) at the Espace Van Gogh in Arles, presented as part of Les Rencontres d’Arles, and Urban Impulses (2019) at The Photographers’ Gallery in London.
