Read curatorial context and practical visitor information for Diodo at SC Gallery in Bilbao
Diodo is the first solo exhibition of paintings by artist Mikel del Río at SC Gallery. The works explore themes of memory and the mediating role of images, often utilizing discarded graphic material to create indecipherable stories.
In 'Diodo', artist Mikel del Río explores the subjective value of images through his distinct painting style. His work reflects on how media filters act as a distancing element in our perception of reality, while simultaneously grappling with the complex nature of personal memory and biographical context. By using discarded graphic materials, personal photographs, and video frames, he constructs visual environments that suggest a sense of incompleteness or displacement, questioning the permanence and placement of the stories portrayed. The collection features a series of oil paintings on both panel and canvas, ranging in size and complexity. These works serve as an arbitrary arrangement of scenes that invite viewers to consider the tension between documentary history and subjective experience. Through this exhibition, SC Gallery showcases the artist's unique ability to transform diverse archival sources into a coherent yet enigmatic body of work that challenges the viewer's interpretation.
