«BORDER»
Colors, geometries, transparencies, and textures are usual elements in Orlando Alandia’s work.
But BORDER marks a rupture with his colorist vein.
The chiaroscuros, the base of architectural design, and the concepts of marginal space are the tools with which he constructs this exhibition composed of light and shadow, fullness and emptiness, and the ambiguities that are born from their combination.
The pieces in ink and tar on paper, imaginary photographs, ancient photographs, taken from a dark place towards a luminous space. Two canvases contrast the superficial with the profound, and two other canvases confront the peripheral with the nuclear.
All these to capture the border that contains the invisible, which ends up being, ultimately, the most impressive.
