Description

PABLO GENOVÉS (Madrid, 1959). "The dancer", 2001. Cibachrome between methacrylate and aluminum. Copy 3/3. Signed, dated, titled and justified on the back. Measurements: 187 x 121 cm. The visionary photomontages of Pablo Genovés, are a metaphor of the disappearance of human civilization on the planet. His fascinating nightmarish images, in which the human figure is not represented, cause a sensation of fear and admiration in the spectator and transmit the idea of the urgency of establishing a new relationship between the human being and the earth that is not based on its plundering. Pablo Genovés is a Spanish photographer who uses photographic-digital and pictorial techniques. In his beginnings he painted directly on the photographs, adding abundant colors; later he changed his criteria to black and white with very sporadic color additions. His work explores the concepts of memory, past and reality; his combination of photography and painting gives his images a character of their own. In this mixture of languages, he seeks to show the pros and cons of human existence. Some of his photographic series show luxurious architectural spaces (palaces, libraries, theaters) under the effects of the forces of nature.3 These photographs are composed of earlier, anonymous ones, which the artist found in street markets and digitally manipulated.
