Bernabé Gilabert
Ciudad Real, Spain, 1953
The base in a building is located at the bottom of the wall, but for Gilabert it is at visual height, losing part of its original meaning, reaching a hierarchy previously stolen. The artist observes the different limits of the sockets and the possibilities of association through the fragmentation of these, seeking by means of primary geometric forms a totality in permanent revision. Fill the planes with colors, these expand, creating pictures within the picture, planes that dynamize the monochrome statism.
These real spaces, full of light and color, serve as an excuse to try to elevate through meditation and the craft process the pleasure of contemplating something as simple as the union of different planes of color in the baseboards. The color creates a space that could be habitable, but in reality can only be penetrated with the look and start a dream.
