Join LaCa Projects and Argentine artist Santiago Quesnel in celebrating the opening of Repetitions, Santiago Quesnel's second solo show at LaCa on Thursday, June 9.
Repetitions is a name that honors Quesnel’s intention to create mutations and variations of the same mental image, resulting in an examination of non-traditional landscapes generated from the intersection of record, experience, and memory. While the ethereal scenes might initially appear conventional, a discovery occurs—a burst of color in an otherwise subdued palette, an object that seems out of place, or subtle traces of human inhabitance, or perhaps, interference. The landscapes confront the viewer, resulting in a mixed sensation of a melancholic absence of something unknown against a vibrant and beautiful scene.
