'land'

 

Tierra is the opening exhibition of the season at La Gran, which continues the cycle on the landscape that began at the beginning of the year. In it, Ignacio Pérez-Jofre develops the main interests that have characterized his work – the construction of the work based on the urban route, experimentation in painting and interest in the trace and found materials.

By using the material collected in certain parts of the city as the pigment with which he creates all the paintings in the exhibition, the artist directs all his attention to the earth – with its qualities of colour and texture – so that by itself, without any further mediation, it is capable of transmitting plastic power and questioning the traditional romantic idea of ​​Nature as an unlimited, invulnerable entity, and above all, external to man.
