Exhibition
Patricio Bosich and Phillip Reeves
From 14 March to 30 April 2022
In this first show we have the work of two figurative artists: Patricio Bosich and Phillip Reeves, both presenting very individual interpretations of the world around them incorporating in their proposals recognisable elements that aspire in their resolution to make sense of that world and in the process suggesting ways of understanding the human condition in its relationship with social constructs. Patricio, with his drawings and paintings, focuses his attention on objects created by ancient cultures, loaded with meanings and which in many cases have become the representation of archetypes. He reinterprets them through skilful drawings, infusing them with an energy that makes them current and makes one think of the importance of looking into the past not just to learn but for remembering who we are as humans regarding our beliefs, motivations and ways of thinking. Without this constant reflection and acknowledgement, the risk of repeating ourselves at infinitum is a real threat to becoming better. Phillip’s work with his dream-like paintings tries to make sense of the chaos and contradictions that constantly shape and influence our perception of the real world, imagining it in a way that challenges its making and the reasons behind it. From the codification created by the way we present ourselves to others, to the power we give to objects so they can either explain or anticipate our reality, transferring in this way, at a certain level, the responsibility to decide what we are and how we relate to others and to the world, Phillip offers an open key to explore possible interpretations to this depending on our individual circumstances and background

It seems we are being witness of an absorbtion or relase of energy between the photographer and the man in the under water suit. What makes it attractive is the absurdity of it. It becomes a painting of references.
