David Rodriguez Caballero
Galeria Agurcho Irurenagoyena, Pamplona
In the exhibition at Agurcho Iruretagoyena Gallery, the artist presents a series of “paintings†on Plexiglas and aluminium with a very special processing. By using traditionally sculptural materials, he produces artworks that join two pictorial processes in the same space: on one hand, the painting of surface, and on the other hand, the manipulation of the material (sedimentation).

In the exhibition at Agurcho Iruretagoyena Gallery, the artist presents a
series of "paintings" on Plexiglas and aluminium with a very special
processing. By using traditionally sculptural materials, he produces
artworks that join two pictorial processes in the same space: on one hand,
the painting of surface, and on the other hand, the manipulation of the
material (sedimentation).
The colourful pictorial piece work as small touches of attention, since they
contrast in the vision of a so-called monocrome and almost industrial
surface; as the spectator gets closer that vision starts penetrating into
the nuances of a quite warm universe. David RodrÃguez Caballero sensitize
the materials both when he works on the aluminium as polished with sand
paper support and on the plexiglas. The result of this process is a
reductionism and a formal synthesis.
In conjunction with the exhibition, the gallery Agurcho Iruretagoyena is
publishing a catalogue of the same title. The catalogue will include a set
of essays by Marta Arroyo, Art Director at the IVAM (Instituto Valenciano de
Arte Moderno), Juan Zapater, Director of the Artico Magazine and Javier
Hontoria, art critic of El Cultural, El Mundo.
