Scattered Pieces – Walking the line
The philosophy that shapes this series has remained intact since I began this line of creation: a constant search for the personal beauty that emerges during the instinctive process and the energy of the initial strokes, only to reaffirm them afterwards, but always with the intention of maintaining their sincerity and authenticity.
Each work is born from a different state, a distinct emotion and the need to discover a new balance within each new exercise.
The title of the series dates back to a hangover morning in London, in 2010, inside a space under construction and surrounded by rubble. The calm of that place, along with my own catharsis, showed me the beauty of the accident and of the impact, of broken objects and of the randomness with which things occupy space.
It makes me very happy to share my work with you once again, especially with those of you who have believed in it and accompanied it throughout all these years. I hope you enjoy the exhibition as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
Thank you for joining me once again.
Artist biography
Gerbos Mad City, a muralist and urban artist from Madrid, began his career in 2005 painting newsstands and walls in Madrid, and hitchhiking to other cities in Spain to leave his mark.
In 2009 she travelled to London, an experience that drove her to continue travelling independently around Europe and the Balkans, taking part in artistic projects, mural interventions and collaborations with associations and communities. Her aim has always been to create collectively and to support underground culture and self-sustaining models outside conventional circuits.
These trips provided him with the space and time necessary to develop and find himself as an artist from his beginnings.
Designer, set designer and trained as a painter and draughtsman, Gerbos Mad City works in multiple disciplines and formats. He creates scale models, sculptures, set designs and pictorial works, both on walls and canvases and on all kinds of surfaces and materials.
Much of his personal work is made using reused materials, following a philosophy based on respect for and the reuse of matter:
“Supporting Trash Art not only as a form of art and reuse, but also as a way of feeling the reality in which we live.”
In his work we find diverse messages and styles, as well as a wide variety of abstract exercises in which he explores energies and emotions.
He currently continues to exhibit his work and develop projects internationally.
