HEAVEN IS A PLACE IN THE MIND / EL PARAÍSO ES UN LUGAR EN LA MENTE

Through a selection curated by the artist himself, the work unfolds within its exhibition context, generating a dialogue both among the paintings and with the reader/viewer.
His anti-typography, palm trees, monochromatic landscapes, and blurred figures are some of the core elements of Cordero’s visual language. Through these, he subverts the communicative function and places us on the edge of the unintelligible. By questioning the overload of information and technology, his work induces a shift in the viewer’s perception of time—forcing them to pause, to pay attention, to reflect.
Texts by Barry Schwabsky, Christian Viveros-Fauné, Deyan Sudjic, Dan Cameron, and Chiara Ianeselli, along with an interview by Cy Schnabel, invite us into the slowed-down world of Raúl Cordero.
