Pablo Alonso is disclosing a new body of work that moves away from endgame narratives to new paradigms between painting and sculpture with the deconstruction as a starting point that questions the paintings’ authoritative status as well as the structure and the historical/cultural projection of the image. Some preliminary works realized in public spaces and based on uncontrolled pictorial experiments through anonymous and collective acts on the streets, reveal a satirically mistrusting point of view of an aesthetic attitude for a sociological understanding of art giving shape to this exhibition. In the studio, folding, sanding, polishing, stapling, rolling, spraying, flaming, rubbing are some of the actions that have influenced the paintings increasing corporeal and architectural qualities and generating tensions between autonomous Modernist abstraction and traditional representation in order to subsume both categories in a simultaneous vision of art historical epochs and genres.
