Artist & Writer
The work of Eugenio de Arnal is a roaring climax of the erotic involvement of becoming, of making, of bringing into form a love/art object. His work is not an illustration of his interest in human relationships. Like the trail of a crustacean on the sea bottom, his work is the result, not a mere record, of his life.

Another constant in the de Arnal’s works, which remains in his drawings is the Mexican sense of being alive. This is true in the work of other great Mexican artists: Rufino Tamayo, José Luis Cuevas, and Francisco Toledo. A sense of the surreal-indigenous state that establishes an ancestral rigor of the daily and horrible act of being alive: He has established a new approach through an intellectual process that will eventually transform his understanding of his subject matter and ultimately of himself.

Eugenio de Arnal is an artist who has mastered the techniques and enlarged the conceptions of picture-making. De Arnal’s work is a roaring climax of the erotic involvement of becoming, of making, of bringing into form a love/art object. His work is not an illustration of his interest in human relationships. Like the trail of a crustacean on the sea bottom his work is the result, not a mere record, of his life.

So you thought that Saint Augustine and Karl Loris Huysmanns were complicated and worldly Catholics? Well, Mexican-American surrealist Eugenio de Arnal, who was probably a Cardinal among the Borgias, makes them look like boy-scouts lost in the woods.
