13 portraits of metropolis where I grasp elements and details I relate them, recreate them, synthesize them and shape them into a personal form to return a small snapshot that tries to photograph a tile of this varied mosaic. Spatially complex paintings , similar to a collage, depicting a bold and metropolitan space made of streets, symbols, buildings and empty spaces. An articulated and intricate plot that seeks graphic balance. An illustrated exercise that tries to transform the chaos of everyday life into a structured but spontaneous order. A portrayal of the wonder and joy that can come from the color and spatial relationships of the scenographies that envelop us, embrace us, and host us in everyday life.
And thanks to the Sainsbury Archive, who were extremely helpful even though it turns out Sainsbury’s bucked the trend and avoided clock towers entirely. https://www.sainsburyarchive.org.uk/
