The Individual Is a Mirage

2010 - Drawing & Print (Drawing & Print)

Erick Beltran

year born: 1974
gender: male
nationality: Mexican
home town: Mexico City, Mexico

In his posters, prints, and installations, Erick Beltrán employs the language and tools of graphic design, linguistics, typography, and variations in alphabetical forms across cultures; he is specifically interested in how language and meaning form structures that can be misconstrued as universal. In The Individual Is a Mirage (2010), Beltrán offers up a graphic chart mapping the myth of individual identity.
