GROUP EXHIBITION AT CASA HOFFMANN

OBSESIÓN brings together the work of a group of artists convened under a common denominator: the development of an artistic practice in which we find reiteration, repetition, insistence and rhythm, a meticulous methodology and a thematic recurrence developed over time. Synonyms such as mania, neura or fixation come to the surface; we find patterns of form and color repeated, alternated and combined, images reproduced ad infinitum that inhabit the artist's mind and that must find their way to the surface, themes that have been addressed since the beginning of a career and that do not seem to yield to the passage of time, intensity in the emphasis of forms that can become playful, but that are vital for the subject who makes them. Questions arise about temporality and resistance; we are attracted to modular repetition, commitment, meticulousness, vehemence taken to its ultimate consequences.

Sometimes artistic practices may seem strange to the general public, but as we wander through this series of works, we come face to face with gestures that, unconsciously, many of us perform; such as insistently drawing the same shape while talking on the phone, keeping certain disposable items as treasures, inevitably fixating on a color, or on a type of person. OBSESSION deals with a psychological aspect of art that has always fascinated us: the artistic mind, the creator's mind and its reflection in the way he/she puts his/her work into practice.
