Main Article Content
The work of Zush reflects on human nature, on the multiple personalities that hide within an individual and the cultural constructions that limit concepts such as health and sickness, sex, madness or reason. A dual, harmonious and conflictive relationship within different subjects' personal relationships, between nature and cultural imposition, between rational thought and the body. A delicate balancing of chaos, monstrosity and rational composition.
Likewise, his iconography feeds on images born of autobiographical elements. Brains, eyes, vital organs, monsters, fire, water and birds constitute his artistic universe as does use of a calligraphic script, a personal alphabet-asura-which he has been developing since he was a boy and which currently contains around 3,000 words. All his books, all his works are written in the alphabet of his state, a hermetic code that aims to express everything that is impossible to explain in a rational way.
This is the work of someone who defines himself through use of his own psychomanualdigital concept, through which he alludes to the harmonious balance the artist must maintain between the rational idea, the creation as a physical act and the use of technology as one's own ritual of the times.
