Raul J Mendez’s work is an attempt at assessing the zeitgeist of the American Condition at this juncture of the early 21st century. It is a dialogue with current events and intercepted psychic transmissions as much as conversations with the work of other artists, authors, filmmakers, etc.
His work is exemplified by painting and drawing on one extreme, and research-based multi media installation works on the other, as well as explorations in music and sound, film, video and performance. These different approaches blend fiction and fact in order to create fragmented narratives that interrogate the psychogeography of the spaces , people and things surrounding us.
