What's under the skin, and skin. The skin is invisible.
Representations anatomical tattoos and gang members. The two subjects, medical semiology and semiotics criminal, evoke both the idea of death. Iliès invites us to revisit these two topics in relation to the issue of identity and culture. scanners and X-rays, anatomical images, skulls and hearts, internal organs and organs of perception (intestines, guts, brains, eyes, optic nerves) ... These things appear composed, on a plain background, scattered, stacked, joined by a line. In this variety is a variety of iconic painting techniques: screen printing, digital printing, painting, drawing. Different scales are called: the burn is painted life size, has a hand on the table the same size as a body. Things are presented in a direct and neutral.
Thus we are led to reconsider the one hand the relationship between body biological and technological means that are applied and on the other hand, the relationship between image and artistic techniques with emphasis on the time scales for each area and their technological developments.
body anatomical and medical use object identity. Looking at the tattoos of micro-companies, small groups and gangs like MS13, California, Illies questions the criteria we use to classify, judge people and their attitudes, to characterize their mode of expression and appearance. Mixed with tattoos, social identity and physical identity come together in a single substance: a body anatomical represented in small sculptures together in a curio cabinet.
Ilies's works are conceived as a testimony of our time. They present themselves as a collection of hot topics that profile news and scientific research.
The combination of these elements produces contradictions, confusion and violence. They refer to reality, concrete and problematic. Ilies introduces complexity in the way we look at situations. This complexity should not prevent the works can be deciphered by all. Ilies wants to build a new framework for understanding the world and find its place.
