Garabatoarte’s work is a direct riposte to those who believe that art should be only about aesthetics, conveying a multitude of viewpoints without ever taking sides. This is the problem that the late Italian novelist Umberto Eco called ‘the open work’. You can read everything in a contemporary work of art, so there’s no use in trying to actually say something outside self-expression. However, that isn’t what GarabatoArte believes.
