ISBN: 9788475069654From the publisher:Interpreting the artistic work of Gabriel de la Mora is like looking for the trace of a crime with the suspicion that it never took place. In his works, precision and execution seem both conceptual and formal maneuvers. If everything seems to be in its place, "What is the disturbing and wonderful thing about your work?" What is it that leads us to an experience of the sinister? His work is related to the dark side of the psyche, its inner side, apart from the cynical and ironic propositions so common to contemporary art. This book covers the work of Gabriel de la Mora, his work explores personal and cultural identity through different lines of research that trace the common thread of his work: originality, the paranormal, identity, memory, portraiture and the body, which are part of the game between dichotomies (figuration-abstraction, baroque-minimalist, innocence-cruelty, traditional-experimental) represented in his works. In them, the line and the point become fundamental elements that generate a dialogue between drawing and sculpture, between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional.
