Pepe López's "Bandwō" (Project Room). Derived from the Gothic term for the earliest flag form, "Bandwō" symbolizes the intricate interplay of colors, shapes, and the complexities of the human experience.
This compelling exhibition marks the conclusion of Pepe López's Miami residency project, hosted by Cerquone Gallery, which took place over the last two months.
In "Bandwō," the canvas becomes a canvas of life itself, where colors are not merely pigments but living entities that interact, clash, and harmonize. López's process involves layering and blending colors, painting, sanding, repainting, and creating intricate textures that echo the complexities of human experience. The bands on the canvas are narratives of difference and unity, division and fusion. These colors, never solid or even, evoke the fluidity of cultural boundaries and the ever-changing nature of our collective identity.
