A look into Arturo Sanchez Jr.'s 'Rarely Visible to the Naked Eye'

How this artist's work explores human experiences

- By S. C. FOJAS

Arturo Sanchez's exhibit "Rarely Visible to the Naked Eye" is about the subtle and often overlooked aspects of human experience, where the visible and invisible intertwine.

In the exhibit, Arturo employs layered visual cues to dissect the emotional ambiguity of his works. His pieces, which he describes in hindsight as “mere hallucinations,” form a crucial part of an even larger exhibit in the future.

Arturo is driven by several core themes, including “perception vs. reality.” “The exhibit stems from my interest in the subtle, often overlooked layers of human experience. I wanted to explore the spaces between perception and memory, visibility and invisibility, where emotion, vulnerability, and ambiguity reside. The inspiration came from the fragmented thoughts that feel real but are difficult to fully articulate or grasp,” he explains.
