ENRIC SANT "VIAJE AL PRESENTE" Montana Gallery Barcelona.
"Viaje al presente/Journey to the Present" is the title of the first exhibition of the young artist Enric Sant in Montana Gallery Barcelona, presenting a collection of artworks that confirms him as one of the most notable spanish artistic promises.
The artwork produced by Enric Sant isn’t friendly, as it’s not the feeling that the artist wants for the viewer, who watches his ostentatious display of twisted shapes. His intentions are just the opposite.
His work lies in two fundamental points: The grotesque, omnipresent, where human and organic shapes deform and grow uncontrollably, creating disproportionated characters that resembles the obsession with the human body from cinema director David Cronenberg. It is not known if their characters were born like this, or are developing their deformities in a sick way. The feeling of witnessing something unhealthy is constant.
The other key point of his work is the day-to-day. Especially in his drawings, Enric shows a brutal clash between perfectly plausible situations, like sitting on the subway, and the appearance of deformed figures as protagonists of the scene that is happening, that usually happens without anything spectacular, beyond what normally happens in reality. Thus, the artist uses expressionist portraits of everyday’s life to create a special atmosphere, suggesting the idea of disease in society, and in our lifestyle.
Enric Sant "Journey to the present" Opening on Thursday 23th October 2014 from 20pm. Exhibition 24th October to 6th December 2014.
