Curious to learn about every theory about life, Luis Luna's thinking ramifies through the observation of existence from multiple times and disciplines. All of this, seemingly expansive, converges in a sense of unity that tells us that the fragment is an abstraction and that we are part of a complex and constant whole.

His work takes nourishment from Aby Warburg, the Gnostics, metaphysics, the Maya, the Kogui, Jorge Luis Borges, and hermetic texts—to mention just a few of his sources. Drawing on so many perspectives, he creates a visible syncretism of symbols and atmospheres. In his practice, inseparable from text, he experiences the paradox of language as a constructor of thought for everything we cannot see, but which, in its capacity as a segmenting system, limits itself and cannot encompass the whole, as suggested by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's ‘Rhizome’.

For this reason, words alone are not enough for Luis Luna; he needs to use combinations of symbols, signs, colors, and textures. In his paintings, there is tension between textual quotations and glazes of oils and pigments. In his assemblages, geometries contrast with amorphous enamel stains. In his collages, images from various historical periods coexist with materials used in the present day. In his textiles, fragments are brought together. And in his wood sculptures, forceful, loose words are carved gesturally. The multiple layers of his theoretical sources are reflected in a constant search for materials, which currently include oil, laser cutting, enamels, pigments, glass, found objects, photography, silkscreen printing, writing, metals, and fabric.

This exhibition—in which time is understood as a non-linear event, where the past is not behind the present—brings together thoughts and feelings from moments in his career spanning more than three decades, like erratic and simultaneous root systems, a vision where the centerless whole of the ‘rhizome’ prevails. The pieces reflect a continuous thought process that accompanies and renews itself as a whole. Or also, as a display of all his universes converging in the same space.
