Light Contours
It seems that we are sailing the crest of the wave of contemporary art, anything goes, there is total freedom, the languages of art are immeasurable, art speaks to us from deeper and deeper corners within ourselves from our individual perception, our emotional baggage and our knowledge.
The allegory of Plato's cave, like other ancient myths brought closer to reality by time, is similar to the modern analogy of the echo chamber where we perceive what we know and what don ́t we tend to deny.
Through the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia a random or vague stimulus is mistakenly perceived as a recognizable form, as in a Rorschach test or as when we recognize shapes in the clouds, some abstract proposals cease to be so and other abstractions are suddenly figurative
This exhibition aims to initiate a conversation about the concepts we take for concrete, such as the letters that make up this text, the materials of which this sheet is composed, or short-lived abstractions, such as a paint stain that is suddenly a figuration, or an abstract figure on a banking screen that for a moment meant one euro and suddenly means nothing.
