MARTÍN SICHETTI'S UNIVERSE OF REFERENCES OF AT HACHE GALLERY
The Argentine gallery Hache inaugurated the exhibition Personae by artist Martin Sichetti. It is curated by María Fernanda Pinta.
Taking as a starting point the cinematographic language, predominantly that of Alfred Hitchcock, John Houston, Fritz Lang, Billy Wilder, and also recoveries, such as Ida Lupino, Martín Sichetti (b. 1973, Buenos Aires) selects film stills to later work them into drawings. The videos and performances, in turn, are inspired by the narrative elements of cinema.

Self-taught, his relationship with drawing goes back to his childhood, a period in which his passion for cinema was born. Personae, his latest exhibition at Galería Hache features mostly drawings and collages in pencil, pastel and graphite along with a series of videos.
Curator María Fernanda Pinta wrote: "In his third exhibition at Hache, Martín returns to a cinematographic universe that includes directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch, genres such as fantasy, horror, science fiction and thriller, and styles such as film noir. His drawings, collages, videos and performances explore in depth those gestures, objects, details and atmospheres that, through their capture in stills, become emblems of the pathos that mobilizes characters, conflicts and passions inside and outside the movie screen. Through these sources, Martín builds his own poetics where the oneiric, the mystery, the scopic drive, the fetish, but also a certain humor and incredulity at the time of appropriating those images loaded with glamour and clichés, so typical of the culture of the spectacle. What is disturbing and seductive is precisely that tension between a world that knows how to perform and stage and another that whispers things that we can barely understand and, nevertheless, are not completely unknown to us".
