The term Atlas is defined as a systemic collection of maps of various kinds, usually geographical or historical, of a specific territory and which are usually presented in a volume. In general terms, it is understood as a grouping of descriptions belonging to a certain discipline. Throughout history, the artist has described his environment, establishing the landscape as a motif that is recurrently used in painting.
Under the slight influence of urban references, Vicent Machí presents his work in which the chromatic sense invades the canvas and where the pictorial register shows its possibilities from its most characteristic elements: the line and the stain; the stroke and the surface; the direction and the extension. The urban landscape and its most pictorial aspects serve as a premise in a self-absorbed work, which describes itself, which uses painting as its main motif and uses its own elements as resources in its elaboration, giving the process and the construction of the image a leading role.
This exhibition is therefore nothing more than a cartography that presents the artist's visual imagination; on the one hand, it shows the urban dialogue that he has travelled, lived and inhabited, which in a certain way influences the paintings and, on the other hand, we see the pictorial language that the author uses to construct his own images.
