ROBERTO AIZENBERG

Sin edad, sin tiempo, sin espacio [Without age, without time, without space]

19/03 to 25/04

“Original and wise, it surprises and fascinates” Manuel Mujica Lainez.

In an interview conducted by Inés Katzenstein, Aizenberg explains that he paints and creates works the way nature does, without ideology, without preconceptions: “One must paint with the naturalness of breathing, like the flow of blood.” Thus the figures appear as a hymn to life, to the dreamed life.

Some of them holding the hand of children as they contemplate monumental landscapes, allegories of meaning, of the importance of the father teaching the world to his child.
Others without face, without identity, in empty spaces, as an invitation to identify ourselves, a provocation to think about what we know of ourselves or what our place in the world is.

Extravagant characters, surrounded by strange objects, creating the sense of being in an impenetrable place, in an intimate encounter with their essence.
Empty and solitary windows, announcing the anguish of nothingness, with a longing for infinity, condition a state of mind in the search for transcendence.

Perfection like a perfume that permeates everything…

In the titles of his works he proposes the intention of his practice, synthesizing, using a “minimum of information,” distilling into transcendental ideas such as love, the soul, desires, the unconscious, chance.

Following Aizenberg’s rigor, this exhibition privileges, within his vast oeuvre, drawings and collages selected and arranged in a way that invites us to reveal the immense depth of the mystery.
