Curatorial context
Curated by Alejandro Castellote, 'Luis González Palma. Intangible Constellations' provides a comprehensive retrospective of the Guatemalan artist's significant body of work. The exhibition delves into the core themes that define Palma's universe: identity and memory, introspection and intimacy, and the representation of the invisible. These thematic explorations are presented alongside his ongoing formal experimentation, which gradually departs from traditional two-dimensional photography towards a more tactile, sculpture-like engagement with the medium. Palma's work is characterized by a rich symbolic language, often utilizing portraits that echo religious and baroque painting, and incorporating materials that add texture and depth, metaphorically reconstructing images and inviting viewers to engage multiple senses. His artistic journey reflects on history, the human condition, and the enduring impact of social and political realities, particularly evident in his earlier works addressing Guatemala's civil war.
