Juan Uslé (Santander) has been living in New York since the early 90 s and is one of the most prominent figures of contemporary painting. The hypersensitivity described by Uslé in his work is a sort of memorable visionary state because it is painful. When we see certain paintings by Usle, always in intense, bright and burning colours, we should be reminded of encounters with one of those states that take us out of our everyday way of perceiving, one of those events that teach us that everything we perceive can be captured in an entirely different way, given that even a small modification of the perceptual apparatus can cause it to vary.

Juan Uslé (Santander) vive en Nueva York desde principios de los 90 y es una figura destacada en el campo de la pintura actual. La hipersensibilidad que Uslé describe en su obra es una especie de estado visionario memorable, porque es doloroso. Cuando vemos ciertas pinturas de Usle, siempre de colores intensos, brillantes y ardientes, deberiamos pensar en uno de esos estados del ser que nos sacan de nuestro modo cotidiano de percibir, uno de esos eventos que nos enseñan que todo lo que percibimos puede ser captado de manera diferente, dado que incluso una pequeña modificacion del aparato perceptual la puede hacer variar.

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 Corderos 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 viewers perception of timeforcing them to pause, to pay attention, to reflect.Texts by Barry Schwabsky, Christian Viveros-Faune, Deyan Sudjic, Dan Cameron, and Chiara Ianeselli, along with an interview by Cy Schnabel, invite us into the slowed-down world of Raul Cordero.

This highly illustrated overview of the state of painting documents concerns and ideas among contemporary painters. Often moving beyond the traditional image associated with this medium, this survey illustrates the richness, eclecticism, dynamism and contemporaneity of painting.

Bernar Venet es uno de los artistas vivos franceses más celebrados. Surgió en la escena Avant-Garde del Nueva York de los años 60 donde desarrolló un estilo personal sustentado en el uso de las matematicas y la ciencia, donde la suerte, el control y el caos convergen para formar un equilibrio a la vez que estudia si relacion con el entorno.Tras abandonar su carrera artistica y continuar su andadura como matematico durante decadas, volvio a irrumpir en el mundo artistico con unas enormes esculturas que han acabado exponiendose permanentemente en varias ciudades centroeuropeas.Mi meta es hacer algo realmente cierto en la historia del arte, no unicamente ser un artista conocido mientras viva. Lo que deseo es que, dentro de 300 años, la gente diga: Mira lo que hizo Bernar Venet Forbes
