HECTOR A N C H U N D I A

530 West 25th Street, New York, NY

Hector Anchundia is a self-described neo-expressionist whose primary subject is the female figure. Inspired by the likes of painters’ Picasso, Van Gogh, and Tamayo, Anchundia is intrigued by movement and form in the human body; specifically how body language can exude both power and confidence and how the eyes can evoke real, palpable expression. At the beginning of his artistic career, Anchundia was focused on creating pieces that captured a naturalistic sense of the human body, but after coming to New York City in the late 1970s, he began experimenting with more abstracted depictions.

A talented draftsman, Anchundia uses his work to represent the inherent romanticism in all worldly concepts, from the creation of our universe to the modern-day; he wants each of his viewers to interpret and discover their own understanding of his work. Regarding his color palette, Anchundia is grounded in his tropical roots and often employs bright, bold reds, oranges, and yellows. Anchundia has participated in exhibitions at venues such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Bronx Museum, and the Brooklyn Museum.

I am a Neoexpressionist concentrated in figurative art. The female figure embodies the principal object of my work, giving me the ability to play with movement and lend form to his (my) compositions.

I was born in Vinces, Ecuador on April 17, 1942, and studied at the Universidad Central del Ecuador -Escuela National de Bellas Artes in Quito. My first exhibition was in 1969 at the Museu da Republica, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I consider myself an artist of the tropics, loud, colorful, and full of life, visible in the reds, oranges, and yellows used in my work.

My arrival in New York in the late 1970s, however, was transformative, and my paintings evolved from naturalist depictions to abstract forms of the human figure. Aiming to create works of exceptional poetic sensibility has kept me in a state of perpetual evolution as a painter. Figures, colors, and shadows all reflect my emotions, moods, anxieties, and dreams, and signal my fascination for the display of power and confidence in body language, as well as the expressiveness of the eyes.

I aim to innovate with forms, themes, and ideas; moreover, my experimentation opens my work to political, philosophical and even religious interpretations. I have exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Brooklyn Museum, New Jersey City University, the Casa de la Cultura, Guayaquil (1986), Museo Arqueológico del Banco del Pacifico, Guayaquil (1997), and the Consulado General del Ecuador, New York (1999) and elsewhere.
