This solo exhibition presents a collection of oil paintings by Iván Floro, featuring evocative bodies that explore themes of intimacy and eroticism. The work dwells on the threshold between beauty and terror, drawing stylistic inspiration from expressionist masters.
In his first solo exhibition at SC Gallery, Iván Floro presents 'Llámalo X' (Call it whatever), a collection of paintings that delve into the complexities of human presence at the start of the 21st century. The figures captured on canvas are portrayed with intense emotional weight, balancing between beauty and a disturbing sense of terror, echoing themes found in the works of Egon Schiele and Lucian Freud. The exhibition navigates binary oppositions such as inside and outside, calm and tension, and desire and fear, providing a profound study of the human condition in the contemporary era. Floro's artistic practice is characterized by a heartfelt application of brushstrokes, connecting his modern expressionist approach to the rich traditions of Spanish painting. Through these 'offering bodies,' he extracts feelings from the libido, reflecting the temperaments and behaviors of our time. The exhibition serves as an exercise in understanding the static and dynamic states of the body, ultimately questioning our collective judgment of what is beautiful and what is frighteningly profound.
