JUAN JOSÉ CAMBRE AND HIS CHROMATIC LABYRINTHS
Gachi Prieto Arte Contemporáneo inaugurates CAMBRE, an individual exhibition by Juan José Cambre. With unpublished works, the artist continues his obsessive search for a color and its variants, which eventually become a sort of chromatic labyrinth.
According to Sofia Dourron, in a text previously written about Cambre's work, this minicosmos of full and radiant colors contains an endless number of potential possibilities. The plot is revealed as the last vestige of remote landscapes, a solid and singular element of a painting stripped of all material excess, pure time, color and surface.
Maurice Blanchot says in The Literary Space, part of the exhibition space text: “However, the work - the work of art, the literary work - is neither finished nor unfinished: it is. The only thing it says is that: that it is. And nothing else. Beyond that, it is nothing. Whoever wants to make it express something else, finds nothing; he finds that it expresses nothing.”
