'Parking'

In this exhibition we find geometric shapes and bright colours that return to a retro aesthetic typical of a generation that was marked by great technological and digital advances. The artist takes up the motifs that marked the last years of the 20th century to take the viewer to a bygone era through a contemporary perspective.

Technology, industry, consumerism and mass production are just some of the reasons that give life to works that recover a beauty based on substance and simplicity. The artist purifies and builds until he recovers the essence and the most characteristic of those objects that give life to his work, creating a paradox between container and content, since, despite their formal austerity, in them he reflects on an alienated and complex society, massified and superficial, in which people become simple automated pawns in a game or a machine in continuous progress.

In PARKING, Olmo Blanco presents works ranging from painting to jewellery and furniture, claiming the artistic and expressive capacity of all of them. The works recover the aesthetics of the 90s; an urban aesthetic typical of a youth who enjoyed video game consoles and techno music, and in which video games and technology represented a social and recreational revolution, as well as an artistic one. Olmo Blanco recovers these motifs to adapt them to his own intrigues and provide them with a social and philosophical reason. In this way, we find modern and urban spaces that acquire a symbolic value in a world absorbed by those technological and industrial developments.
