Galería Cayón is pleased to present Sobre el Papel at its Orfila space. This exhibition shows different post-war artists that made paper their essential surface for their artistic practice.

Sobre el papel, Cayón, December 17, 2015 - February 6, 2016.
The exhibition supports the meaning of drawing as an autonomous medium, without the purpose of just sketches for later works. The show brings together works by Josef Albers, Enrico Castellani, Martí Cormand, José Guerrero, Joan Hernández Pijuan, Yayoi Kusama, Marco Maggi, Pablo Palazuelo, Robert Rauschenberg y Al Taylor.

 

Nevertheless each of the artists represented in this show have their unique work method, all of them hold paper as their main language. Some of them, like Josef Albers (1888-1976), José Guerrero (1914-1991) o Al Taylor (1948-1999) found a more academic abstract language.
Focused on the matter of color, Josef Albers (1888-1976) researchs about its behaviour and repetition and superposition. Following a similar research, José Guerrero´s gouache are made of abstract color shapes. Al Taylor (1948-1999), on the other hand researchs about the circle and its multiple possibilities as a form. His interest deals with the movement effects and gravitational aspects of the concave and convex shapes.

Also, with artists Enrico Castellani (1930) and Marco Maggi (1957), paper leaves its meabing as just a “tool” for pencil or oil, and becomes a single and unique object of attention. Enrico Castellani uses nails that transform the monochrome surface, conveying the surface to a new space perception. Marco maggi, brings this idea to the ultimate work of paper and totally transforms the paper as a complete work of art. Paper is the idea and presentation of the work. His pieces are paper on paper.
