Jaime Velázquez (Cádiz, 1987) opens ‘Fragmentos Binarios’ (Binary Fragments) on 27 February at Tamara Kreisler Gallery (Madrid), an exhibition that combines graffiti, pictorial tradition and artificial intelligence, which will be open to visitors until 28 March. The exhibition comes in the run-up to Art Week and joins the circuit leading up to the major fairs with a proposal focused on how we look and what systems condition that gaze.
A painting that blends street and studio: graffiti, oil and a language of its own
Velázquez works from a hybrid territory: solid oil technique and the visual pulse of urban culture. Far from being an aesthetic effect, this clash of registers constructs a recognisable and direct identity, where the “classical” does not compete with the contemporary, but rather amplifies it.
In ‘Fragmentos Binarios’, the result is perceived as a layered painting. On the one hand, the manual and the material. On the other, an imaginary world that refers to screens, signs, fragments and rhythms of visual consumption. The exhibition is understood as an investigation: not only into images, but also into the mechanisms that order them in our minds.
