Daniel Palacios develops his creative works through the interplay of art, science and technology, applied to the structures of space and human perception. One characteristic feature of Palacios‘ work, a result of his basic training in the natural sciences, is its reference to real conditions, to which he gives plastic, expressive forms. Palacios‘ most recent works are concerned primarily […]

Lachapelle presents playful universes which combine objects of undetermined purpose; in this way, he opens the conventions of our reality to fresh disposition. The architecture of his models – which Lachapelle has recently begun to make with the help of the […]

His drawings develop from a large number and variety of forms, which the artist produces using different lead and graphite pencils as […]
An Oblique Fiction
Isabel Simões plays with the viewer’s perception by making slight interventions into existing spatial structures. Reinterpreting the omnipresent signs and traffic symbols that can be seen in Berlin, her anamorphic paintings, often deceptively suggest three-dimensionality. The construction of a somehow scenographic space can define a path in which the spectator is performatively implied. Reflecting about […]

This conceptual strategy also informs their sample-based methodology, where the potential […]
