bonart madrid - 22/02/22

The Blanquerna Bookshop Cultural Center opens the Panta Rei exhibition on February 24th. Everything flows. Antoni Llena. Lucia C. Pino curated by Antònia M. Perelló.

Perpetual change and constant flow are an outstanding feature in the works of the two artists. The expression of this unstoppable transformation is manifested above all in the materials they choose and which, through their precariousness, show their carelessness for durability and transcendence. They choose simple, everyday materials, some natural, some artificial and sometimes leftovers from our industrial society, which tell us about human fragility and, in their symbolism, are a metaphor for our languid existence and, at the same time, critical of outrageous consumerism.

"The works of Llena and C. Pino give great prominence to the materials that, through their precariousness, make clear the concern for the importance or persistence over time of these creators. In both cases, the materials used they place them close to poor art, without this being considered a classification or label in either of them.Their are simple, everyday materials, some natural, others artificial, sometimes leftovers from our industrial society that speak to us of fragility human and are, in their symbolism, both a metaphor for our languid and critical existence veiled in outrageous consumerism. They contain in themselves the constant change and transformation that the passage of time implies. Lucía C. Pino investigates the possibilities of knowledge, not focused on humans, observing the behavior, possibilities of transformation or stability of materials, as well as the relationship they establish with the artist and the viewer. Through industrial, thermal or mechanical procedures, it explores the limits of materials and their transformation processes. Thus, when Pino tells us about his interest in studying how viscosity becomes solid, he is on the same level as Antoni Llena, when he attends the wilting and declining of his delicate roles, "writes the curator in the text of the publication. The exhibition can be visited until May 25, 2022.
