Early Accomplishments

Goicolea first gained international recognition for his unsettling technique of arranging, within a single frame, photographic clones of himself in various poses.

His first “Multiple Self-Portrait” series, You and What Army, was produced in 1999.  This series saw him join together surrealism and fantasy with poignant social comment.

Inspiration

Goicolea exhibits an obvious influence of Cindy Sherman, who also produces elaborately staged self-portraits portraying different characters

Overlying Themes of the Work

Although in his mid-thirties, Goicolea portrays himself, disturbingly convincingly, as a series of pre-pubescent boys.  This allows the artist to bring a sense of innocence to his often provocative images that portray childhood pranks, often charged with elements of sexual curiosity and experimentation.
