Addison Tarde Espanola X Art 2012 Better Repack -

Furthermore, the technical execution of the 2012 works positions Espanola as a transitional figure. While peers were fully abandoning traditional media for digital installations, Espanola maintained a fidelity to the tactile. The texture of the canvas (or the weight of the sculpture) remains present, grounding the conceptual themes in physical reality. This decision ensures the work has aged gracefully; unlike the heavy-handed digital art of 2012 that now feels dated, Espanola’s focus on texture and emotion allows it to remain timeless.
