The Marbella-based gallery Yusto/Giner presents El peso de lo inmaterial (The Weight of the Immaterial), the first solo exhibition of Horacio Quiroz (Mexico City, Mexico, 1977), in which the artist employs the corporeality of painting itself as a material element to give form and volume to certain unrepresentable expressions. Self-taught by formation, his pictorial expressiveness approaches the use of line and color in an almost ritual manner, treating them as essential components of creation.
