Parque de atracciones Parque
de atracciones consists of a set of single objects arranged in a
system of shelves. The order of the objects is not fixed but can be altered
by the artist at any time. This work functions as a store in which the
autonomy of the single objects is invalidated. They coexist, they overlap,
they interact, they form spaces and interspaces. The focus is on exploring the principal painting possibilities, beyond abstraction and reflection. The color surfaces are matt or glossy, lucid, opaque, coarse, smooth, soft, hard, etc. Traces of the working process are kept on purpose, they tell how the objects have been made and by which tools. When
the light is changing at different times of the day, shadows come and
go creating additional lines and patterns. Areas are darkened, colored
edges are reflected to the walls, while other surfaces reflect the light
hiding their coloredness. There is a changing interaction between object,
light, and space. The system of shelves makes the work appear provisionally
and, due to its simple structure, it opens a space of possibilities --
born of a working situation that creates surprising |
