Galería Alegría presents ‘MORRALLA’ by Jorge Diezma (Madrid, Spain, 1973), the latest marine still lifes, which continue the work that the artist has been developing on still life. Diezma‘s latent aim is to question the possibility that things do not entirely coincide with themselves. He says that anything can serve for the deepest estrangement, because everything is strange as long as you look at it long enough, and he conceives of painting as the privileged medium to make us aware of this strangeness. The fishes, fruits, stones, suns, and clouds we find in these paintings are a good opportunity to stop our gaze and detach it from the efficiency that usually animates it.

In the contiguous room ‘ROCKER’ by Philipp Röcker (Aalen, Germany, 1984) will be composed by a group of commanding sculptures, which together delineate a temporal and spatial field that viewers are explicitly encouraged to walk through and around. Although they have been arranged into a small group for this specific occasion, each of them constitutes an autonomous work that can stand on its own or relate to the others in ever-changing combinations and positions.
