With the temporary exhibition Somewhere Behind the Eyes , the collection Philara shows the Mexican artist Jose Dávila, who clocks at the limits of natural laws.
Statics, balance, and gravity, on the other hand, are visually undermined by Newton's laws of gravitation and gravity. He uses antagonistic materials. Industrially manufactured glass plates meet natural boulders made of volcanic rock. Furthermore, Dávila (* 1974, Guadalajara) reflects on the paradigms of 20th-century art history, in which he modifies and shifts from recognizing known works of modernism.
In the exhibition Somewhere Behind the Eyes , Dávila combines tinted glass with mirrors and colored straps that only stabilize over their own weight. The starting point is the balance between opposing forces generated by the different weights of the poles. By balancing opposites, Dávila translates into a coexistence between fragility and permanence, relaxation and tension, and straightforwardness and chaos.
The Mobilé Homage to the Square will refer to the same-named geometric series of paintings by Joseph Alber. The square is removed from the two-dimensionality and transmitted as Mobilé in the room. Free-swinging and inherently dynamic, it can be detected in multiple perspectives. By breaking up familiar visual structures and showing an alternative readability, we look at what lies behind the familiar.
