Antonio Gómez Margolles – Non Sequitur

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. Rather than narrating or explaining, Margolles proposes a visual and conceptual synthesis that invites viewers to complete meanings from minimal signs and restrained compositional structures.

With remarkable economy of pictorial resources, the artist places minimalist glyphs and images in a space that becomes a field of symbolic resonance. The restrained color palette—dominated by tones evoking rough, dense environments—intensifies the introspective nature of the series. This formal austerity amplifies the expressive quality of each stroke and, at times, foregrounds abstraction as the core of visual language.

Non Sequitur is more than a visual exercise—it is a meditation on the mechanisms of meaning-making. It alludes to the great process of abstraction underlying all linguistic systems, expressed through a precise visuality that avoids excess and trusts in the evocative power of the essential. The work engages the viewer on a conceptual level, inviting them to cross the threshold where image and thought converge.
