Texturas-Winter edition

Texturas por Jesús Arjona Muñoz

Winter edition

Durante mucho tiempo se me ha preguntado el por qué del título de estos catálogos, y quiero explicarlo.

Cuando nos fijamos en una obra, lo que vemos es aquello que transmite visualmente a todo el público y que cualquier ojo puede ver, algo que incluso roza lo superficial o vano. Adentrarse en la historia del objeto, saber su función, su origen… Nos acerca más a él, pero este acercamiento no es total hasta que este se encuentra en tus manos o en el momento que, mirando con mucho detalle, puedes sentir sus diferentes tactos. Es aquí cuando comprendes la totalidad de la obra y la conoces, es entonces cuando no solo la ves, sino que la sientes.

En esta nueva edición de “Texturas” tengo el placer de contar con la colaboración de un gran galerista español, Fernando Pujol, quien este pasado mes de septiembre expuso en el Parcours des Mondes de París. Es para mí un lujo poder mostrar algunas de sus obras en uno de mis trabajos, además de las obras de las vitales colecciones de Enric Benaiges y Antonio Luque, incondicionales de mis proyectos. ¡Espero que disfrutéis de esta nueva edición!

I have been asked for a long time the reason for the titles of these catalogs, so I would like to explain it.

When we look at a work, what we see is what it visually shows to the entire audience and what any eye can see, something that even borders on the superficial or vain. Delving into the history of the object, knowing its function, its origin... It brings us closer to it, but this approach is not total until it is in your hands or at the moment when, looking in great detail, you can feel its different touches. Then is when you understand the totality of the work and you know it, it is then that you not only see it, but also feel it.

In this new edition of “Textures�, I am pleased to have the collaboration of a great Spanish gallery owner, Fernando Pujol, who exhibited at the Parcours des mondes in Paris last September. It is a pleasure for me to be able to show some of his pieces in one of my works, in addition to the artworks of the vital collections of Enric Benaiges and Antonio Luque, unconditional of my projects.

I hope you enjoy this new edition!
