This month that we have just started will be perhaps the most important of the year for Plom Gallery: we are preparing our first participation in an art fair, something that will place us and make us reach a more varied and wider audience, an audience that has to understand that those who are children NOW are also the FUTURE, and therefore it is essential that we do our best to make them free and happy people.
We present the exhibition ‘Kidult Generation’ which has been created especially for Art Madrid and consists of oil paintings in different formats and a collection of drawings on paper.
The theme of the exhibition revolves around the concept of “Kidult” the adult who does not want to stop being a child, and the child who “plays” at being an adult.
The project has been chosen by the curator of the ‘One Project’ program , which presents works by 8 national and international artists born between the 1970s and 1980s.
Our protagonist, the artist who will show us this new world is Sergio Mora. “Sergio Mora is a multifaceted artist: he makes paintings, illustrations, “flirts” with comics, makes videos, perfomance, and often his work is accompanied by his personal image, exhibiting certain showmanship.
Sergio creates attractive and evocative images, linked to the moment in which he lives: a highly attractive universe full of complicity with the viewer, with whom he shares visual experiences and cultural environments, where everything happens at the same time, confronting in the same place and time, in a fluid and natural way, scenes and characters that might seem completely unconnected.
Behind the sympathetic and magical image of his work, hides a painter in capital letters yet to be discovered in all its power, capable of transmitting a universe of pictorial energy, without the need to be linked to a figurative image or any current, to shine with its own personality” Enric Font
In Sergio Mora’s own words about the exhibition:
“When we come into the world we come as a blank sheet of paper, unprejudiced and free of concepts. We are forced to adapt and live within “the invention of reality” created by our ancestors.
We come up against tacit concepts such as nation, language, religion, etc.
These concepts are not part of nature; in geological maps there are no borders or flags, all these are artifices. But we human beings have to organize ourselves in some way and we create these artificial concepts: we invent reality; we are the creators of the reality we inhabit and we are responsible for its evolution”.
We expect days of nerves and a thousand things to make everything perfect, but it will be exciting!
The countdown begins! You can come and visit us at the stand C2ArtMadrid. Crystal Gallery of CentroCentro Cibeles.
