Curatorial context
The Madrid Railway Museum presents "Entre v
uevoas, agua y papel," an exhibition showcasing thirty-one watercolors by Javier Zorrilla. Through his distinctive use of transparency, glazes, and light, Zorrilla captures the fleeting atmospheres and subtle movements characteristic of the railway environment. His works depict vehicles, stations, passengers, and landscapes, transforming them into symbols and diluted memories.
Zorrilla's technique, which plays with the white of the paper, humidity, and the vibration of pigment, allows him to render ephemeral moments with unique expressiveness. The paintings are imbued with light and soft shadows, where each quick, deliberate brushstroke not only shapes the instant but also reinterprets it. The exhibition highlights Zorrilla's visual homage to the railway, where he delves into tonal balances and chiaroscuro to reinterpret his subjects, elevating the railway to a visual celebration.
