Escat Gallery Trafalgar presenta Portals Origin of the Void<\/em>, una exposici\u00f3 individual de l\u2019artista mexic\u00e0 MAREO (Mareo Rodr\u00edguez, Ciutat de M\u00e8xic, 1981). L\u2019exposici\u00f3 s\u2019inaugura el 27 de gener de 2025 i es podr\u00e0 visitar fins al 28 de febrer.<\/p>\r\n

MAREO \u00e9s un artista multidisciplinari nascut a Ciutat de M\u00e8xic, criat a Col\u00f2mbia i establert actualment a Barcelona. La seva pr\u00e0ctica abasta la pintura, l\u2019escultura, la instal\u00b7laci\u00f3 i els mitjans digitals. Durant l\u2019\u00faltima d\u00e8cada, ha presentat 16 exposicions individuals i ha participat en nombroses fires d\u2019art, festivals i projectes art\u00edstics internacionals a Am\u00e8rica del Nord, Am\u00e8rica Llatina, el Pr\u00f2xim Orient, \u00c0sia i Europa.<\/p>\r\n

El t\u00edtol de l\u2019exposici\u00f3, Portals Origin of the Void<\/em>, fa refer\u00e8ncia a l\u2019inici d\u2019un proc\u00e9s de transformaci\u00f3: la transici\u00f3 d\u2019un estat a un altre. El portal no es concep com una porta literal, sin\u00f3 com el s\u00edmbol d\u2019un canvi de consci\u00e8ncia \u2014un llindar de connexi\u00f3 profunda, l\u2019experi\u00e8ncia de travessar alguna cosa. El buit, per la seva banda, no s\u2019ent\u00e9n com una abs\u00e8ncia, sin\u00f3 com un espai viu i silenci\u00f3s carregat de potencial. \u00c9s l\u2019estat al qual s\u2019arriba despr\u00e9s de creuar el portal: un territori de pausa, refugi i possibilitat on pot tenir lloc la transformaci\u00f3 interior.<\/p>\r\n

L\u2019exposici\u00f3 proposa un di\u00e0leg entre la instal\u00b7laci\u00f3 i les obres sobre tela, construint un recorregut en qu\u00e8 ambdues pr\u00e0ctiques es complementen i generen una experi\u00e8ncia unificada al voltant dels dos conceptes que articulen la mostra: portals i buits.<\/p>\r\n

La mostra s\u2019estructura al voltant de dues fissures de llum de quatre metres d\u2019al\u00e7ada, amb bases circulars de sorra, que funcionen com a pres\u00e8ncies centrals a partir de les quals s\u2019expandeix la resta de l\u2019obra. Aquestes fissures, peces nuclears de l\u2019exposici\u00f3, actuen com a pres\u00e8ncies energ\u00e8tiques, gaireb\u00e9 com columnes de llum, que estructuren i organitzen l\u2019espai, irradiant cap a les obres que les envolten. M\u00e9s enll\u00e0 de refer\u00e8ncies a la consci\u00e8ncia i a l\u2019eteri, tamb\u00e9 evoquen patrons fonamentals presents a la natura, com els llamps, els rius, les serralades o les esquerdes en les formacions rocoses. Paral\u00b7lelament, les pintures parteixen d\u2019una paleta fosca i monocroma que progressivament s\u2019il\u00b7lumina. Aquestes obres de forma circular pertanyen a la s\u00e8rie Void<\/em> i exploren el buit com un espai de contemplaci\u00f3.<\/p>","desc_es":"

Escat Gallery Trafalgar presenta Portals Origin of the Void<\/em>, una exposici\u00f3n individual del artista mexicano MAREO (Mareo Rodr\u00edguez, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico, 1981). La exposici\u00f3n se inaugura el 27 de enero de 2025 y podr\u00e1 visitarse hasta el 28 de febrero.<\/p>\r\n

MAREO es un artista multidisciplinar nacido en Ciudad de M\u00e9xico, criado en Colombia y actualmente establecido en Barcelona. Su pr\u00e1ctica abarca la pintura, la escultura, la instalaci\u00f3n y los medios digitales. Durante la \u00faltima d\u00e9cada, ha presentado 16 exposiciones individuales y ha participado en numerosas ferias de arte, festivales y proyectos art\u00edsticos internacionales en Norteam\u00e9rica, Latinoam\u00e9rica, Oriente Medio, Asia y Europa.<\/p>\r\n

El t\u00edtulo de la exposici\u00f3n, Portals Origin of the Void<\/em>, hace referencia al inicio de un proceso de transformaci\u00f3n: la transici\u00f3n de un estado a otro. El portal no se concibe como una puerta literal, sino como el s\u00edmbolo de un cambio de conciencia \u2014un umbral de conexi\u00f3n profunda, la experiencia de atravesar algo. El vac\u00edo, por su parte, no se entiende como una ausencia, sino como un espacio vivo y silencioso cargado de potencial. Es el estado que se alcanza tras cruzar el portal: un territorio de pausa, refugio y posibilidad donde puede tener lugar la transformaci\u00f3n interior.<\/p>\r\n

La exposici\u00f3n propone un di\u00e1logo entre la instalaci\u00f3n y las obras sobre lienzo, construyendo un recorrido en el que ambas pr\u00e1cticas se complementan y generan una experiencia unificada en torno a los dos conceptos que articulan la muestra: portales y vac\u00edos.<\/p>\r\n

La muestra se estructura en torno a dos fisuras de luz de cuatro metros de altura, con bases circulares de arena, que funcionan como presencias centrales desde las cuales se expande el resto de la obra. Estas fisuras, piezas nucleares de la exposici\u00f3n, act\u00faan como presencias energ\u00e9ticas, casi como columnas de luz, que estructuran y organizan el espacio, irradiando hacia las obras circundantes. M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de referenciar la conciencia y lo et\u00e9reo, tambi\u00e9n evocan patrones fundamentales presentes en la naturaleza, como los rel\u00e1mpagos, los r\u00edos, las cordilleras o las grietas en las formaciones rocosas. Por su parte, las pinturas parten de una paleta oscura y monocroma que se va iluminando progresivamente. Estas obras de forma circular pertenecen a la serie Void<\/em> y exploran el vac\u00edo como un espacio de contemplaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

The exhibition opens on January 27,\r\n2025, and will be on view until February 28.\r\nMAREO is a multidisciplinary artist born in Mexico City, raised in Colombia, and currently\r\nbased in Barcelona. His practice encompasses painting, sculpture, installation, and digital\r\nmedia. Over the past decade, he has presented 16 solo exhibitions and participated in\r\nnumerous international art fairs, festivals, and artistic projects across North America, Latin\r\nAmerica, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.\r\nThe title of the exhibition, Portals Origin of the Void, refers to the beginning of a process of\r\ntransformation: the transition from one state to another. The portal is not conceived as a\r\nliteral door, but as a symbol of a shift in consciousness\u2014a threshold of deep connection, the\r\nexperience of passing through something. The void, meanwhile, is not understood as absence,\r\nbut as a living, silent space charged with potential. It is the state reached after crossing the\r\nportal: a territory of pause, shelter, and possibility where inner transformation can take place.\r\nThe exhibition proposes a dialogue between installation and works on canvas, constructing a\r\njourney in which both practices complement one another and generate a unified experience\r\naround the two concepts that articulate the show: portals and voids.\r\nThe show is structured around two light fissures four meters high, with circular sand bases,\r\nwhich function as central presences from which the rest of the work expands. These fissures,\r\nthe core pieces of the exhibition, act as energetic presences, almost like columns of light, that\r\nstructure and organize the space, radiating toward the surrounding works. Beyond referencing\r\nconsciousness and the ethereal, they also evoke fundamental patterns found in nature, such as\r\nlightning, rivers, mountain ranges, or cracks in rock formations. Meanwhile, the paintings\r\n\r\nbegin with a dark, monochromatic palette that gradually becomes illuminated. These circular-\r\nform works belong to the Void series and explore the void as a space for contemplation.","event_category":103,"event_show_only_own_date":true,"_event_confirmed":true,"_event_public":true,"_event_free":true,"_event_price-min":"","_event_price-max":"","_event_web_ca":"https:\/\/www.escatgallery.com","_event_web_es":"https:\/\/www.escatgallery.com","_event_web_en":"https:\/\/www.escatgallery.com","event_contact_email":"trafalgar@escatgallery.com","event_apply_email":"trafalgar@escatgallery.com","is_online_event":false,"is_art_nou_event":false,"is_bgw_event":false,"date_text":"","register_deadline":null,"altres_organitzadors":""},"abe_event_venue":"Escat Gallery","abe_event_category":"Exposici\u00f3","start":"2026-01-27 00:00:00","end":"2026-02-28 23:59:00","schedule":"once","schedule_meta":"","frequency":1,"all_day":1,"until":"2026-01-27 00:00:00","include":[],"exclude":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/53968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/185"}],"occurrences":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/53968\/occurrences"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"event-category","href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category\/103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-venues?post=53968"},{"taxonomy":"event-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-tags?post=53968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
