Diego's Genius: Tremble until the storm arrives
A pictorial exploration between the tremor of the body and the freedom of gesture.
The Arranz-Bravo Foundation presents Trémer til la tempesta comes, an exhibition by Genís de Diego curated by Albert Mercadé. The project arises from an experience both physical and emotional, a trip to Brazil in which the artist began to feel a persistent tremor that made it difficult for him to draw. This symptom, far from being an obstacle, becomes the catalyst for a new creative stage focused on the connection between the body and the act of painting.
The exhibition, which can be visited until July 15, captures this visceral research process, in which De Diego opts for a painting freed from mental and rational control. Instead of analyzing or planning, he surrenders to an intuitive, instinctive and organic pictorial practice. The result is a work full of ambiguities, where the forms fluctuate between the figurative and the abstract, between desire and fear, between enjoyment and fragility. Jungles, fruits, bodies and suggested or dissolved textures appear, as if the painting were a living extension of the artist's skin. In this sense, Trémer til la tempesta arriba invites us to think of painting as a way of feeling, as a tool to face existence and reimagine its limits.
Genís de Diego (Barcelona, 1988) works from his workshop in l'Hospitalet de Llobregat and teaches at the Llotja Art School. Trained at the Serra i Abella School and the University of Barcelona, he has exhibited in spaces such as the Islington Arts Factory (London), the Sis Gallery (Sabadell), Ethall and Espai19. This new proposal is part of the programming of the Nit dels Museus in l'Hospitalet and dialogues with other exhibitions at the Tecla Sala Art Center and TPK.
