          Abstract

          ResumenEl presente artículo analiza el discurso grotesco como discurso estético/político contracultural, en algunas de las obras de los artistas José Alberto Hernández de Costa Rica, y Regina José Galindo de Guatemala. Como representantes del arte conceptual latinoamericano, estos dos artistas contemporáneos exploran elementos de la realidad humana tanto desde una perspectiva universal, como regional. Mediante el uso de la estética grotesca, Hernández y Galindo rompen con los estándares artísticos del mainstream, explorando distintos medios, técnicas, e incluso temáticas que horrorizan, disgustan al/la espectador/a, pero a la vez lo/la atraen y fascinan, al mostrarle una perspectiva opuesta a la estética tradicional del arte occidental, y dándole una voz propia al arte latinoamericano.

          Translated abstract

          AbstractThe present study analyzes the grotesque discourse, as an aesthetic/political countercultural discourse, in some of the works of the artists José Alberto Hernández from Costa Rica y Regina José Galindo from Guatemala. As representatives of the Latin American conceptual art, these two contemporary artists explore elements of the human reality not only from a universal perspective, but also from a regional one. By means of the grotesque aesthetic, Hernández and Galindo break with the artistic standards of the mainstream, exploring different means, techniques, and even subject matters that horrify and disgust the viewers, but also attract and fascinate them, by showing them an opposing perspective from the traditional aesthetic of the western art, and giving the Latin American art a voice of its own.
