Experience Las esquilas las estrellas Contemporary Art Exhibition at Juan Manuel Lumbreras Gallery

In this exhibition, artist Andrés Rivas Rodís presents a series of works that explore the relationship between individual pieces and their potential for larger, provisional, and migratory groupings. Through the use of various mediums including oil, enamel, and collage, the artist investigates themes of syntax, fragmentation, and continuity, inspired by poetic imagery.

In 'Las esquilas las estrellas', Andrés Rivas Rodís investigates the concepts of connection and fragmentation within his practice. Producing pieces as individual entities, the artist approaches them with the possibility that they may later form part of larger, shifting, and migratory systems. The work is framed by a conceptual syntax where the placement of elements, whether in a diptych or a larger arrangement, forces a behavior that reflects both continuity and separation. The title, inspired by a line from Tristan Tzara, suggests a sense of fluidity, comparing the artworks to elements that interact and change through their very proximity and the way they are positioned together. The resulting collection is marked by a diverse use of materials, including oil, enamel, wax, and collage on various substrates such as canvas, wood, and paper. This exploration of the 'animal-like' behavior of objects—which act as both independent forms and parts of an evolving whole—invites visitors to consider the dynamic interaction between individual artworks. As part of the 'JOVEN LLAMA JOVEN' project, this exhibition highlights the development of Rivas Rodís's research and creative practice, reflecting his recent academic focus in contemporary art research.
