FIGURATIVE FANTASY
Open December 19, 2024
DIFFERENT WORLDS
In the collective show FIGURATIVE FANTASY we have the feeling of having created a catalog of portals to other worlds.
Our desire is that the viewer manages to find in the works that symbiotic sensation that approaches us suddenly, when our DNA and that of the artist are combined spontaneously. The artist, through his discourse, is capable of enveloping us in his fantasy, which at that moment also becomes our own.
Marrying our sensibility with that of another human being is something tremendously delicate, it either happens or it doesn’t happen. There is art that leaves us indifferent and art that captures us.
Often we are attracted to a familiar aesthetic, especially the one we have grown up with, a visual language we have lived with and have already deciphered, so it is not a challenge for us, since it is part of our imaginary.
But sometimes we find a form of expression that shocks us, sometimes we may even dislike it at first, but for some reason it keeps our curiosity, our desire to observe and see what it means and why. And right at that moment it is possible that the artist has opened a new world for us.
The instant in which the spectator communes with a new form of expression is the instant in which his mind has begun to interpret and integrate a new language, a different symbology, a new way of interpreting color, form or technique. This new acquired knowledge will nestle inside him, enriching his visual culture.
Understanding different modes of expression enriches our way of perceiving reality. Artists gift us with small pieces that help us to understand an intensely diverse world.
