Javier Sánchez’s artistic practice exists at the intersection of painting, installation, and sound art. His work explores how obsolete devices and modified technologies can be integrated into painterly practices. He is interested in the deconstruction and hacking of outdated technologies as a method to reconfigure and reposition their aesthetic and conceptual experience with color, form, and matter—approaching them beyond the descriptive and relational.
He works from the essence, the intrinsic and inherent: ideas, images, objects, and their phenomena serve as triggers for new aesthetic relationships with sound and its inner dimension. This sound dimension manifests as matter—harmonically arrhythmic and simultaneously disorganized—giving shape to ecosystems where painting, installation, and sound coexist in unstable balance.
Sánchez has participated in several artistic residencies. In 2023, he was selected for an artistic residency under the tutelage of Mark Bradford at the Zapopan Art Museum (MAZ) in Zapopan, in 2018 Proyecto H Gallery in Mexico, while in 2015 at Signal Culture Experimental Media Arts in New York. In addition, he led a workshop at the Museo Carrillo Gil. As for his exhibitions, in 2022 he presented his work at Proyecto H gallery in Mexico City and at the Centro de Cultura Digital, CDMX. In 2021, he participated in the exhibition “Manifestos y Representaciones de Color y Formas” at Proyecto T, CDMX. In 2020, he also presented a video installation at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Juan Soriano and “Sincronismos Anacrónicos” at the Salón ACME. In 2018, his work was exhibited at T Gallery at the Rubin Center Gallery in El Paso, Texas. Sanchez’s work possesses the ability to generate sensory and reflective experiences in the viewer.

Proyecto H is pleased to present the second exhibition of Mexican artist Javier Sánchez, which will be available from October 20 to December 15, 2022.
In the exhibition “Observation and thought”, Javier Sánchez focuses on the relationship between the canvas and the machine, as well as the colors and shapes on the canvas, which are later transferred to the screen and, along the way, change. The exhibition will feature 12 large and medium format pieces in oil on canvas and a sound installation with which visitors will be able to interact.
