In the Depth of the Surface

The title of this exhibition is a clear oxymoron, two words that convey opposite ideas: to go into the depth of the surface is a concept as oxymoronic as clear and familiar to every artist, who is accustomed to operate with these two actions daily.

To shape the matter, dig it, construct and deconstruct it, paint it, draw it, experience different uses of it, break up it, blend it, carve it, scratch it, photograph and even destroy it.

We realize that the term “matter” itself has something deep inside of it and it can be even deeper to compare it in the process that every artist chooses for treating it.

The work is conceived, made and observed for going into the depth of the surface inevitably.
