In the series presented under the title Re-Actions, abstraction takes on a unique, almost tactile expressiveness, evoking emotional or mental states. The forms appear as if shaped by an inner current, materializing through rhythms, pulses, and intuitive gestures.What stands out is the biological density many of his compositions seem to hold. These are not arbitrary forms; they evoke—without depicting—organic matrices and vital…Read more …

Non Sequitur, a series by visual artist Antonio Gómez Margolles, presents a rigorous inquiry into the power of symbols and their ability to integrate multiple layers of meaning through a continuous interplay between thought and language.

With remarkable economy of pictorial resources, the artist places minimalist glyphs and images in a space that becomes a field of symbolic resonance.

Kevin Oramas – Echo of an Imaginary

April 4, 2025

Online Exclusive

Kevin Oramas’ work steers away from any attempt at mere aesthetic indulgence or a simplified, comforting view of the world. His art is a genuine visual exorcism, where negative emotions are laid bare—unfiltered and raw—as if the image itself were a means to purge the inner demons haunting the human mind. There is rarely solace or respite in his pieces—only the stark intensity of anguish, confusion, and fear, which become the core of his visual discourse. Drawing from prior photographs, Oramas constructs unsettling compositions that blur the line between reality…Read more …
