Cronografías negras by Iván Trueta

Curated by Michel Blancsubé at Main Room February 1 - April 13, 2024 Objects, things, act. The artwork is particularly active. What I am saying is that we are different after coming across items defined as artistic in the same way that we are transformed by readings, movies, trips, people, etc. Although defined as useless compared to functional tools, artworks fulfill tasks that nurture our reflection, stimulate our sensitivity, and provoke our emotionality.

Iván Trueta Segovia's first individual exhibition at Saenger Galería brings together around fifty compositions staged dynamically in the main space of the venue and in its project room. Most consist of graphite on paper or canvas. They all come from a work started 4 years ago by the artist who is revisiting the 5 homes occupied by his family since their move from Franco's Spain to Mexico during the Second World War. Solitary nails, walls strewn with lost textures and other accidents due to actions already completed and for the most part forgotten accompanying architectural details, facades, and interior views, as well as 18 objects, intimate and silent witnesses of times past, which the artist's family took fleeing Europe. Several times synthesized in an accumulation of layers of black dust on flat areas: inalienable historical time, life and its mark, the work of compiling past moments and the time of production, already brought together now by the shadows they left in a spectrum fragmented black.
