Galería Elvira
González announces the coming exhibition of Chema Madoz, opening January
22nd. The exhibition -- the photographer’s first at the gallery --
consists of 35 photographs taken between 2012 and 2014. These new
black-and-white images continue the artist’s signature method of
creating poetic and surprising visual metaphors out of everyday objects.
The exhibition will remain on view until March 14th.
Long-established on the international art scene, Madoz was awarded
Spain’s National Photography Award in 2000, and he was featured in one
of the outstanding shows in the 2014 edition of Les Rencontres d’Arles
(France), Europe’s leading international photography festival.
Chema Madoz (Madrid, 1958) began his professional career in 1990, having
completed his studies at the Centro de Enseñanza de la Imagen in
Madrid. His first solo show took place in 1985 at the Real Sociedad
Fotográfica in Madrid, and in 1988 the Sala Minerva at the Círculo de
Bellas Artes in Madrid presented its first show of photography with work
by Madoz.
In the 1990’s, Madoz began using everyday objects to create dream-like
Surrealistic images, a working methodology he has continued to employ up
to the present day.
“Madoz lets us know how many different lives might lie in wait within a
matchstick or a staircase, if their destinies had not been to serve our
need for fire or to conquer gravity,” writes the philosopher and art
historian Luis Arenas. “All Madoz’s worlds are improbable, yes, but they
are not impossible; they stand before us, demonstrating their reality.”
