The universe of Luis González Palma (Guatemala, 1957) is made up of theme-related constellations that orbit around his work in a never-ending flow and return cycle. Identity and memory —the pillars of his early photographic series— are approached from the perspective of the portrait with lingering echoes of religious painting, the baroque and Pre-Raphaelite styles. Other themes that hover around his work are introspection, privacy, a reflection on power and the representation of what is not visible ‘what we don’t see when we look at something; what we don’t say when we speak.’ Indeed, his entire work is a reflection on our vision, which questions history and the human condition.
Cooprodución co Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, Alemaña (30 setembro - 2 xaneiro 2005)
Between the advent of Atlántica and the emergence of Pontevedra’s School of Fine Arts, Galicia has witnessed the development of the work of a long list of artists of varying academic backgrounds and with very different aesthetic ideas and conceptual horizons. In this fertile parenthesis, they fought to broaden the horizons of their work in the most adverse of conditions in a kind of no man’s land where they were always hard-pressed to find any signs to guide and direct them.
