Osvaldo González's work is crafted from spatial relationships, self-awareness and knowledge, and potential subjective connections between the viewer and the environment he recreates. Without a doubt, what identifies him are the elements with which he began to work some years ago and which have become his leitmotiv: adhesive tape and light. Taking the use of adhesive tape to the extreme as a fundamental material in his work, the magic lies in evoking a sense of strangeness in almost everyone who encounters his works: how is the image we see constructed? Is it a photograph, a painting, or something unidentifiable at first glance? Through the use of light and added layers, he creates spaces, compositions, interior landscapes that transform architecture into the focal point of his creations.
Open until 27 April 2024.
