Sergio Suárez: Situar la Orilla de Cosmos

Curator: Dakin Hart
Artist: Sergio Suárez

“Situar la Orilla del Cosmos” is a solo exhibition showcasing recent works by the artist. A series of woodcuts presents scenes from an imagined cosmology, inspired by the artist’s upbringing in Mexico City amidst Catholic iconography. These works merge elements of historic painting with contemporary cosmology, using imagery to explore materiality, metaphysics, preservation, and time while challenging conventional narrative structures.

Displayed on the gallery floor, the artist’s ceramic works assemble asterisms composed of forms that evoke elemental forces, physical phenomena, and human anatomy. These pieces extend the artist’s investigations into the interplay between the material and the symbolic, examining how substance takes form and how this poetic process expands or contracts the boundaries of possibility.

The exhibition as a whole contemplates the porous boundary between the tangible and the metaphysical, inviting viewers to reflect on the intersection of art, symbolism, and cosmic imagination.
