Opening: Monday 9 November, 7 pm
The artwork by Robert Llimós (Barcelona, 1943), a painter by birth and a magician of the invisible, is a threshold towards the realm of the indemonstrable, a parenthesis of suspension of suspicion. With him, for a fragile instant, the gaze lends us the required confidence to surrender ourselves to the most mysterious act: vision.
The exhibition Are there still not enough eyes on the face? brings together Robert Llimós’ body of work that was created in the late sixties and early seventies within the framework of Catalan conceptual art. Based on a conversation between languages – ways of sustaining the challenge of seeing – that range from sculpture to painting, through action and the word, this exhibition proposes a journey that, while focusing exclusively on a decade of the artist’s extensive production, aims to resonate with the entirety of his career with new rhymes.
From this perspective, Llimós’ whole body of work is illuminated by a shared destiny: the obsession with finding a new image. Although the coordinates of the appearance of the image vary throughout his career, the method persists: situate oneself, observe, translate, repeat, insist.
Exhibition curated by blanca arias.
