MINIMUM BRUTALISM SERIES
I take the modernist concept of Brutalism, derived from a genre of architecture carried out between the 50's and 70's characterized by the austerity of its forms, the exaltation of materiality, the economy of resources and, formally, with a strong geometric imprint .
In my work I take up fragments of previous constructions and transfer them to wood, fabric or paper as a support, trying to dialogue with the intention that these works originally had with the materiality, its visibility and the environment.
Color emerges as an aesthetic consequence generating a tension between the support and the form that inhabits it, giving a different character to each construction that resides within the limits of the frame, an element that, far from simply seeking to allude to the concept of window or ornamental closure, it is integrated into the work generating an indivisible whole.
Consequently, we could call the series “Minimal Brutalisms” as fragments or cuttings of modern architecture, which allows us to relive it in the simulation that painting brings to us.
