It is a pleasure to announce that from July 15 to 19, Artizar Gallery will make its debut at Artesantander, one of the most important art fairs in Spain, held at the Palacio de Congresos in the city of Santander.
We will present a solo-project of the artist Jeús Zurita (Ceuta, 1974) that you will be able to visit at booth number 1.
Jesús Zurita has said and written on several occasions that the vegetative elements in his work act as a metaphor for the flesh, for the human. His landscapes of entrails force us to experience a passive genesis of consciousness that subjects us, through an empathic process, to the disturbing effect of the identical. Likewise, such a revelation draws our attention to a previous absence, which then becomes strange to us. We perceive ourselves as an "Other" that precedes and possesses us. However, that perception of the personal as an "Other" responds to the opposition between concepts as opposed as identical and strange, and it is in this context, between what causes us horror through familiarity and astonishment through unfamiliarity that the artist places us.
