“META”
By Jerónimo Sáenz Landaburu
Sergio Avello is a multifaceted artist, abstract from his beginnings, who worked on scenography, is a disk jockey, gathers sound, light and color with complex issues such as power, pollution, political and sportive sense of belonging, or the production and waste models in relation to the social networks.
His proposal is a body of work in which, from a seemingly hedonistic position of reticence and sarcastic humor, makes the color, light, sound, technology and public space to dialogue.
He transcends the exhibition room as a background to generate a urban, political, and social event.
The work "Cartel" is an urban intervention in which Avello modifies a public space usually used for diffusion of propaganda and publicity, in this case to generate a chromatic vibration, a poetic proposal, a passage-landscape of color.
Rhythm and a sequence of execution is perceived in his pictorial body of work, terms that can be perfectly applied to music (a vital element in the life of the artist), this elements confluxe to include in this exhibition, works like "Mural gym" or "Pintura-Pintura" where he displays a series of gridded compositions in which he plays with the structure. From anti-narration, the artist combines clearly delimited spaces and sequenced plain layers that dialogue with diffuse background and all sorts of chromatic passages.
Meta, word that means "purpose or objective", "next to", "after", "between", "with" and "come on", (depending on the provincial slang).
In dialogue with other abstractions, languages and spatial senses the exhibition incorporates works from the artists Magdalena Jitrk, Daniel Joglar, Alfredo Prior, Cristian Delgado, Sergio De Loof, Juan José Cambre y José Garófalo.
Meta is an exhibition that contains abstraction, humour, interaction and coherency. Notions that transform our space, expressions with which the social identity is constructed, the self-concept and the permanent development in communion with the everyday space.
