Work, Story, Pleasure : Collective show by Fernanda Brunet, Robert Janitz & Javier Peláez. Curated by Christian Barragán
Overview
Work, Story, Pleasure , Collective show by Fernanda Brunet, Robert Janitz & Javier Peláez. Curated by Christian Barragán
Work, Story, Pleasure exhibition is made up by Fernanda Brunet (Mexico City, 1964), Robert Janitz (Alsfeld, Germany, 1962) and Javier Peláez (Mexico City, 1976), with a selection of works in a two-dimensional and three-dimensional format that reveals a series of meditations on color, surface and shape that together make it possible to highlight a quality of painting that is frequently forgotten today, its capacity for seduction and enjoyment; An experience that is first rehearsed in the privacy of the studio by the authors of the work and later recreated by those of us who attend to its presence in the public sphere. The pleasure that painting incites corresponds to the free disposition to contemplate it; a choice that is also a passion. Exploring, translating and rediscovering the various components of the pictorial field (from the unctuousness of color in Janitz to the liquid surface of Brunet, and from the asymmetric balance of forms in Peláez to a fleeting but decisive gesture present in the pulse of the three artists), the body of work gathered here proposes some meeting points between the particular stories of its creators while offering a frank space that invites you to enjoy art without restrictions, simply. Painting as the story of a work at the same time discursive and affective.
