‘Earth in sight: a landscape of forms found’

 

Land in Sight! is an exhibition that tells us about the discoveries and perspectives of artists capable of configuring their own landscapes from found forms. All of them work on the transformation of nature by restructuring its possibilities. They are artists who like to distill nature into landscape, either by working on the territoriality of painting or by examining the materials of that nature and its limits to focus their gaze on those forms that appear, whether physical or visual. On the one hand, they are very pictorial artists, because they are seduced by transit and textures, by events and by how consistency dissolves, although in their very diverse ways of proceeding we could unite many of them by their sculptural actions, linked to nature or its phenomena, as well as by the use of drawing or artisanal processes as a structuring and performative weapon. Because, even when they work on a large scale, their true narrative is hidden in the “infralight”, in the misalignment or imperfection, in an interstitial time and space where we manage to discover the most fragile aspects of matter.
