Codified Paintings
Taking as a reference the analysis of deconstruction and the supposed unviability of the codes of communication for representation, and more specifically of pictorial language, Imanol Marrodán, using a "heuristic" method and through his "Codified Paintings", aims to deny the historical representational quality of the pictorial method, in order to make his works independent "objects", finally freed from their representational obligation. It is the "Object Image" that asserts itself by its simple material presence and becomes an autonomous body, an "artfact" that claims a new way of being contaminated.

The ontological reason for these paintings, called "Nuclei of Emotion" or "Coded Paintings", is determined by colour and light, which are the essence of sensory communication and emotional transmission beyond any rational explanation.

These objects are framed within the Zen aesthetic, and are a reference to the Taoist universe and Eastern thought and culture.

Imanol Marrodán

Spain  • 1964

Imanol Marrodán. Bilbao 1964, Basque Country. 

An interdisciplinary creator and researcher, he carries out, among other activities, critical work through various events related to art and contemporary thought as part of his personal creative project. 

The concept of limit, inspired by the idea of the ancient Roman "limes", quoted by the philosopher Eugenio Trias as a metaphor for a civilised and rationally controlled knowledge, is the starting point of a concept of limit that is not understood as the end of something, but as a means to a new "beginning" of renewal, growth and evolution. 

It is the process of forming an experience that shares a socio-political habitat in an industrial, materialistic, technological and artificial world, as opposed to a natural environment closely linked to the laws of the universe, which we hardly know, but which we still feel and sense. 

As a conclusion and main priority, Imanol Marrodán's creative project seeks to highlight and bring to light the different uses, utilities and practical applications of contemporary creation as one of the essential driving forces behind the future of a social, political and economic community, helping to determine, in a transversal manner, its changes and evolutions.

He has exhibited in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Korea, Argentina, Chile, Switzerland and the United States. His work has been shown in international contemporary art fairs such as ARCO, VALENCIA ART, ARTE SANTANDER and DFOTO (Spain), ART COLOGNE and KUNST KÖLN (Germany), KIAF (Seoul, Korea), ArteBA (Buenos Aires, Argentina), BALELATINA (Basel, Switzerland)...etc...

His work is widely represented in museums, public institutions and private collections.
