Des-ocultamientos (Unconcealments)

In “The Origin of the Work of Art” (1935) Martin Heidegger proposed an interpretation of what happens through the work of art. His approach points to an event, of unconcealment, that reveals an underlying truth. In the triadic interaction between the creative artist, the work of art and a receiving public, a new significant field emerges, for the attentive viewer.

Attentive to the previous approach, we propose a group of artists who explore sensory and perceptual realms, emotional and spiritual dynamics, myth and art history.

Diego Arango (Spain) settled in Palma de Mallorca more than 40 years ago; There his work, populated with peasant houses, jaguars and shamans, was enriched at the intersection with the experience of the Mediterranean. Painting basic and iconic pictorial signs allowed the artist to merge his Colombian roots with the cradle space of Western civilization.

Bilal Chahal (Netherlands) and Juliana Correa (Colombia) address affectivity as an underlying experience. Chahal's 'Emotional Abuse' addresses emotional domination in texts on ceramic spheres. Correa's textile work explores the effects of human action on nature.

Ramón Laserna's abstract drawings emphasize the processual nature of his action, the neural effects of vision, in a current re-reading of the drawing.

Andrej Savski, member of the Slavic group IRWIN, presents a series of oil works that address, with irony and humor, the field of representation, playing with the superposition of pictorial elements from various historical moments.
