Descripción de la Exposición
Figurative painting connects language and narration with the image, delving into the multiple meanings of representation. However, the artists of Of Flesh and Air, departed from figurative representation and leaned towards the search and creation of new forms of representation; sometimes based in real images, others in imposible compositions or simply in decorative motifs. These new forms disconnect themselves from the original image, barely leaving a footprint or a sign, finding their own logic. By deeply enveloping themselves in the complexities of the medium of painting, these artists create new forms, as well as spaces between them, with an ironic presence and the enigma of morphosis.
