This Friday, on September 15, Valencia-based gallery PlasticMurs will be presenting Blurring the Lines, a promising collective exhibition featuring the work of internationally renowned artists like Alberonero, Graphic Surgery, Kate Banazi, Richard Caldicott and Sophie Smallhorn.
Alberonero, Graphic Surgery, Kate Banazi, Richard Caldicott and Sophie Smallhorn have minimised their practice into stark, beautiful compositions. The multi-faceted layers are laid bare and offer no respite to the viewer. They are meant to viewed much as they are made. Simplicity in a complicated format. The seamless way these works sit within our post modern architectural society underpins the importance of the artist’s journeys. They nod elegantly to the De Stijl masters of old and maintain a long tradition of Neo Plasticism, to the boldness of Suprematism and the beauty of Minimalism. Theses experimentations are undoubtedly the art for the next century, steeped in past histories and encapsulating. The geometric theories that these five artists utilise are the patterns of our new society, the discrepancies that enrich our environments. The lines of skyscrapers that we walk under the sustenance, the concrete and steel the colour palette.
Blurring the Lines opens on Friday, September 15 and will be on view through October 27 at the gallery located on Calle Denia 45, 46006 Valencia
