Group Show / 15.11 - 17.01 / 2014
This group exhibition is the result of our wish to bring together a group of artists whose work is both interesting and disturbing at the same time. The sellection has been easy - we just have let ourselves be seduced by the pieces, and the mistery they hold. We find very interesting making these artworks talk with each other and see what happens.
Tiago Carneiro da Cunha, Michael Horsky, Stefan Rinck, Lamarche & Ovize and Pablo Morata belong to the same generation and, althought they come from different cultures, they all share a similar way of seeing, understanding and dealing with the artistic work. A common place from where they confront certain obsessions and give birth to these creatures who live in the wrinkles of their brains. This is the engine that is leading them to express themselves from the depths of a subconscious that we feel close even thought is not ours.
The sense of humor is a powerful tool when dealing with these "monsters"; it creates fantasy and, as viewers, it helps us in a world where the rational idea is king. All these artworks come directly from that slow and hot fermented primal mass -not refined, not coloured, not adulterated at all.
These works maintain alive the wild side that can awake confronted sensations in the viewer; that´s why it is important not to forget that Fantasy and Reason allied are the mother of all arts and origin of wonders.
