AFTER A SUPPOSED CRISIS IN PAINTING. TOUR CURATED BY ÓSCAR MANRIQUE

Galería de Cristal del Palacio de Cibeles
Viernes 8 de marzo - 18:00h

Our visual reality is plagued by images that are born, develop and die at a dizzying speed, as we perceive life through screens in which a multitude of meanings are agglomerated in an almost aberrant manner. Painting today has to deal with this "pantallocracy", it has to fight its own battle against this visual monotony, and the answers are as varied as they are stimulating. Much has been said about the crisis of painting that this situation has entailed, also joined by a predilection of museums and institutions for other solutions that move away from the canvas in pursuit of more innovative and political proposals; however, the pictorial fact is still not exhausted, fairs continue to demand painting and language can continue to surprise us despite being "out of fashion", a fact that in my opinion has been imposed, because as we see in fairs like Art Madrid, painting is still. To this end, the journey proposed by Oscar Manrique will analyze the various pictorial solutions that are born out of a need to renew the discipline, from an expanded painting, where traditional formats evolve to other not so conventional, the new figurations influenced by television and mass media, to others who try to compete against the photographic image or resort to resources as old as the trompe l'oeil to dignify the human technique before the machine.
