Blue Lotus by Javier Peláez: Curated by Christian Barragán at Main Room

The works that make up the exhibition Blue Lotus by Javier Peláez are governed by a principle of metamorphosis. Closer to the capacity of transmutation present in concert music and jazz, or even in poetry that resorts to the free association of images, the artist adopts in the realization of his pictorial and graphic work a motif that progressively configures, fixes, permutes, divides and dismantles it; sometimes, as it is currently, that motif (a flower, a virgin, a landscape, an object) reaches under this premise its partial and even total disappearance. "As a result of the Casa Nano art residency I did in Japan during 2017, I realized that my practice is replete with ambivalences, contradictions

and simultaneities, and I don't have to define, hierarchize or privilege one position exclusively." Six years later, the exhibition Blue Lotus by Javier Peláez propitiates a continuum in which we contemplate the fragments of an uninterrupted and multiple, unrepeatable and cyclical vision.
