Collective exhibition 'Oblique Strategies' by Arturo Mendez, Maria Briones and Javier Cruzado. The Luzzy

 

COLLECTIVE EXHIBITION 'OBLIQUE STRATEGIES'

 

The Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Center hosts the exhibition 'Oblique Strategies', where the three young artists María Briones, Javier Cruzado and Arturo Méndez present their work, accompanied by the text of the artist Ángel Mateo Charris .

This is a collective exhibition in which the three artists have developed personal projects, all of them based on previous photographic images, from archives, family albums, press, etc. Through the use of painting, these artists reflect on history, memory and the world around us through the study of images and their significance in a society that potentially consumes them.

As a result of this research, the exhibition presents distorted, fragmented and veiled works; works that seem to hide the reference information rather than show it, creating spaces that invite doubt and reflection on the part of the spectator. The pictorial processes that these artists use to develop their projects are of vital importance, since they aim to decontextualize and reuse images in order to create new meanings by calling into question the established narrative.

This imaginary of residues and vestiges is perfectly supported by the text that Ángel Mateo Charris has created for the exhibition. Far from being a traditional curatorial text , this text takes on a presence as another piece of the exhibition, with a suggestive tone between the literary and the poetic . As a whole , the exhibition is a declaration of intentions that will not leave the public indifferent. As the text says: “This exhibition is an oracle and there is a message for you in these letters from Briones, Cruzado and Méndez.”
