Press Release TextRolando Anselmi is pleased to present Zeit/Raum, Ignacio Uriarte's third solo exhibition at the gallery. Uriarte's practice is deeply rooted in his former career in administration, exploring the aesthetics of the office environment with a conceptual and minimalist approach. His work revolves around small creative moments that emerge from office routine, focusing on mechanical gestures and their reiterations, turning routine into a thematic focus. The use of geometrical forms as a leitmotiv connects several works within the exhibition, from Three Portals to Four rectangles, continuing his exploration of repetitive actions and their variations in shape and color. These works highlight his meticulous control of media, process, and results while introducing subtle variations. Throught the use of standard color markers, Uriarte transforms ordinary actions into documents that grapple with issues of time, space, structure and creative potential within seemingly inefficient moments. While the upper floor focuses on variations in color, as in the progression of the Roman Windows, downstairs Up / Down, Ruler Square Space and Four Times delve into the organization and structure of space, where the sculptural aspects become more pronounced. The symmetrical arrangements within the gallery become visual metaphors, testing the boundaries of given spaces and existing parameters, while the works, whether modular or irregular, show a delicate balance between the manual and the mechanical. Finally, in Appearance and Disappearance and Double Diagonal Sequence, the artist deals with the negative image, reflecting on standardization and depth perception and highlighting the parallel dematerialization of the object along with its chromatic limitation.
