Árboles profundamente artificiales


21.08.2021 The exhibition expands as a long poem, internal intersections and ritornellos coming and going, rhymes and alterations repeating and revealing the complexity of their meaning as the visitor advances in the room. Appealing to modernism as a utopian possibility, it is nourished by a playful and critical spirit, accompanying each series.
By using video and photographs as methodological tools, Legón is able to utilize brief approaches, reflections around the schizophrenia inherent to the capital and its discursive position set up by mass media, an arboreous statement, almost lacking a center, used to reintroduce the forever promising footnotes of the collage (that which by law should not be mixed) and its political disruption.
Because if it is true that, as Ballard once said, advertising hijacks the world (and let us remember that for him politics was nothing but one of its branches), it is left for art to hijack advertising and make it reflect its unseen face, the power of showing the hidden side of its moon.

Fluid Boundaries at BARRO NY

04.04.2024 Abstract art can manifest in numerous ways, being deductive or expressive, lyrical or rational, geometric or organic, as well as smooth or rich in gestures. In the realm of painting, abstraction acquires a unique expression when it is grounded in a well-defined ontology. Although painting does not speak, it creates speech. Joaquín Boz’s work is an example of how abstraction not only encompasses but also delves into complex concepts such as contingency and sensibility, through its meticulous layers of color.
