Krizia León Porta’s (Lima, 1996) paintings emerge as shafts of light breaking through clouds that traverse a sky that is sometimes calm and at other times on the verge of becoming a storm. Through char-coal and pastel, her surfaces construct atmospheres in which clarity appears only momentarily, like a phenomenon that is simultaneously forming and fading away. Her paintings function as symbolic spaces; they become possibilities for escape, activating ambiguous perceptual states between revelation and disappearance.
Italo Crovetti’s (Lima, 1997) works introduce another form of instability. Fragile appearances of everyday figures in diluted movement emerge within incomplete scenes, as though paused before fully taking shape. Executed on unprimed fabric, his colored-pencil drawings retain an open and delicate quality, keeping the images in a constant state of suspension.
Alfredo Rodríguez (Madrid, 1976) employs experimental processes and photosensitive materials to explore the image and the expanded body. His work articulates a tension between object, image, and repetition. A sculpture constructed from parts of a motorcycle body coexists with a photograph of the same machine, creating a displacement between the physical presence of the body and its representation. His works become systems of transformation in which the object and its image mutually contaminate one another through the beauty of error and experimentation within the apparatus itself.
This exhibition brings together the work of three artists whose practices present matter as something unstable, traversed by processes of transformation, appearance, and disappearance.
Palo Santo proposes a journey in which the visible is merely a trace. Just as palo santo wood slowly releases its mystery when burned, the works evoke an experience of what changes, what persists in memory, and what never fully reveals itself.
