Michel Pérez Pollo paintings may seem childlike and naive, his concern is to avoid faithful accuracy in favor of a universal expression. His models are figures and shapes made of modeling clay, which he greatly enlarges and exaggerates when painting them. Pérez is more interested in the fundamental constellations of human existence and interaction than in any popular ubiquitous and increasingly hollow social criticism. Michel Pérez Pollo New Workwill be on view at the Mai 36 Galerie until December 20, 2014, Rämistrasse 37 CH-8001 Zürich
