Horacio Quiroz’s (b.1977) rich painterly depictions of the human body unravel a world of hybrid states and dynamic desires. With a background in international advertising, the self-taught painter began his artistic career in 2013, and has since built up a body of work that straddles the line between the beautiful and grotesque, utopian and dystopian, the familiar and otherworldly. Informed by queer and ecological theory, Quiroz’s corporeal worlds reveal a cosmological consciousness that expands the relationship between gender, identity, bodies, and environments.
His highly detailed yet fantastical paintings radiate a queer optimism that’s paradoxically rooted in constant change. Based in Mexico City, Quiroz (b. 1977) earned his Graphic Design BFA from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City. Three years into his career as a painter, Quiroz’s work was selected for the prestigious 15th Rufino Tamayo Biennial of Painting in Mexico. Quiroz quickly built up a reputation for mind bending paintings revealing queer representations of the body, nonbinary understandings of gender, and dream states.

Popcorn and cascade bidding:
If a bid is placed during the last 1 minute of the auction, the closing time will be automatically extended for an additional 1 minute from the time the last bid was placed. The item will close once all bidding activity has stopped. This is recommended for high-value and popular items. Popcorn bidding prevents bidders from waiting until the last minute to bid without giving the bidders who were outbid an opportunity to rebid.
Cascade bidding ensures auction lots close at staggering times, one after another. For example, the first lot of an auction might close at 12:01pm, the second lot would close at 12:02pm, then the third lot at 12:03pm, etc.
