His\u00a0media include organic pigments, polymer acrylic and ink. He combines drawing, photo-imagery and\u00a0found materials with acrylic paints seeking to construct images intuitively. Photographs of crumbling\u00a0walls in Mexico adorned with graffiti relating to a social struggle are transferred to his canvases using a\u00a0gel medium. This results in delicate, ceramic-like pieces with layers of personal memories that are\u00a0deeply rooted in historical events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Drawing on tragic incidents from his past and his experience as a displaced person, Flores\u2019 dense,\u00a0layered paintings speak of the human condition. Despite their often dire inspiration, his works are\u00a0sensitively rendered and infused with both humour and hope.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Flores was the recipient of the Corporate Purchase Award at the 2008 and\u00a02011 Artist Project Fair in Toronto. He is also a member of Toronto\u2019s innovative Zotz* Collective.\u00a0Spence Gallery has been representing Nah\u00fam Flores since 2006.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>November 5-27, 2011<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening: Saturday, November 5, 6-9pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPENCE GALLERY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Drawing on tragic incidents from his past and his experience as a displaced person, Flores\u2019 dense, layered paintings speak of the human condition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=4221\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4221"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4672,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4221\/revisions\/4672"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
