Joaquín Boz (Rojas, 1987) creates abstract paintings and drawings in different scales, working with the characteristics that matter provides from the body and gestures. In his works, intensity is placed upon the development of the work, and the materials change according to the medium. Each work presents a different story to appreciate, both in its entirety and in the details, where the different stages of his work are perceived. His paintings and drawings are the result of processes of loading the material that covers and discovers, reveals and conceals, weakens and strengthens. Every one of Boz’s paintings brings to light the making of numerous discrete decisions and organic networks of hieroglyphic marks that register intimate and piercing conversations between the artist and the materials. His individual exhibitions include Fluid Boundaries (BARRO, New York, 2024), Diffusion (Perrotin, Seoul, 2023), Todo el tiempo (Steve Turner Gallery, Los Angeles, 2022), Caudal (BARRO, 2022), Mano sin hora (Steve Turner Gallery, Los Angeles, 2020), Los días (BARRO, Buenos Aires, 2018), New Work (Steve Turner Gallery, Los Angeles, 2017), Cadena de islas (with Steve Turner Gallery at Zona Maco, Mexico City, 2016), Sonido blanco (Big Sur Galería, Buenos Aires, 2015), Inscripción en la tierra (Steve Turner Gallery, Los Angeles, 2015) and Insolada (Móvil, Buenos Aires, 2014). Some of the most prominent recent group shows in which he was featured are Othering (BARRO, New York), Futurity (BARRO, New York), Inédita (BARRO, Buenos Aires, 2020), Dos museos y un río, curated by Ticio Escobar (Bienalsur, Castagnino+macro, Rosario, 2019), Through-line: Drawing & Weaving by 19 Artists (Steve Turner Gallery, Los Angeles, 2018), Carbon, curated by Lauren Kasmer (Fellows of Contemporary Art (FOCA), Los Angeles, 2018), Arte argentino.100 años en la Colección Castagnino+macro (Castagnino+macro, Rosario, 2018), Agramaticalismos, curated by Jimena Ferreiro (Aldo de Sousa, Buenos Aires, 2016) and Diagonal Sur.

Pinturas
07.06.2025
Joaquín Boz presents "Pinturas", an exhibition composed of a new series of oil paintings on canvas and wood in different scales, ranging from works barely thirty centimeters long to extensive panels of more than two meters. In this proposal, Boz starts from a spatial approach that prioritizes a free path through the room, which is only interrupted by a free-standing column, with no function. This manifest intention of starting from a stripping, of ¨sweeping away¨ the nonessential, does not resign the idea of preserving a certain discomfort. Curated by Bárbara Golubicki.
