OMR is delighted to participate in Estación Material, Vol. 2, in Guadalajara, Mexico, with a presentation that focuses on artists translating and transforming different cultural elements and mediums as part of their creative process.
We begin with Sebastian Silva, whose long-standing experience as a filmmaker is evidenced in his expressive canvases, which are read as living, moving images. This leads us to Pablo Davila, who uses an intricate process to 'print' imageless, digital renderings onto his canvases using laser-cutting machines. This process simultaneously translates a moving, digital medium into a still, physical object. Similarly, Jorge Méndez Blake transcribes poetry and literary works from their written form into visual compositions where deconstruction becomes a means of creation as the characters are spread across a canvas swathed with a flat colour.
Furthermore, in Gabriel Rico's To compound the small differences, the artist transforms photographs taken with the Hubble Telescope by splitting them into sections which are then re-composed as if creating new, assumed universes that are finally formed into canvases through the traditional Huichol beading technique known as Chaquira.
We continue with Jose Dávila's series 'Orden Discontinuo', which originates from the symbolic visual languages that function within art history and Western visual culture, embedded in our collective memories for decades. These pictorial languages are reconfigured as contradictory and contrasting relations, taking the correspondence between form and content to its limit. Finally, the work of Eduardo Sarabia transforms the imagery of traditional Mexican vases by using them to show scenes of both the legal and illicit exchanges of culture and commerce across Mexico's northern border.
