Descripción de la Exposición
Pedro Cera announces a Viewing Room of Antonio Ballester Moreno.
Characterized by a language of reduced forms and shapes defined by solid fields of color, the work of Antonio Ballester Moreno explores the human relationship with the image and the roots of pictorial representation at large. Making of the conceptualization of schematic images - a graphic structure that portrays our conceptual categorization and perceptual constancies of the world - the point of departure of his work, Ballester Moreno examines the nature of human perception and the way we understand and construct through images the world we live in.
The present series of paintings, developed for the Viewing Room, brings together new works, which besides a shared language of depiction, bear a strong emphasis on the subject of horizontality. Inspired by nature, its elements and forms, the idea of landscape as a point of view, which allows for space to open into infinity, perpetuates these works. Horizontality and landscape in this case, function as a concept, suggestive of the image’s continuation beyond its surface, merging the painting with life beyond the canvas.
