Retracing Oblivion presents the works of Francisco Taka Fernández, Sandra Gamarra and José Carlos Martinat, three artists who employ painting to showcase and question dominant forms of knowledge and power structures that perpetuate oppression and inequality throughout history. ‘Although each of them has a different approach to the pictorial, one common feature is the way of treating the surface as a space which accumulates layers and atmospheres in which the visible is as important as the invisible. Their works cover and re-cover in order to be able to show’, writes Miguel Ángel López, the author of the introductory text for the exhibition, curated by the Mayoral team.
