Guillermo Mora, in cooperation with the Galería Formato Cómodo, presents his works which are based on the implementation of the idea of compression in painting. Through the study of different methods of holding and restraint we find in everyday objects, this project aims to carry them onto a new series of pictorial proposals. While the rectilinear stretcher and the canvas have contained painting for centuries, his works escape this structure to find new support platforms that contain and shape painting from another perspective.
"A Daily Question" (Una pregunta diaria) is the first solo exhibition by Guillermo Mora (Alcalá de Henares 1980) at the Galería Formato Cómodo in Madrid. The project consists of asking a question about painting every day, thus building a universe of objects that work as short stories in their individuality and as a full-length story collectively. They're pieces made uncertainly, slaves to the intelligent caprice of their author, a mix between premeditation and chance that shows us a kaleidoscopic vision of his working process. Through the three areas of the room, the works will act as a hour-glass, the link between two conic structures: while one of them empties, the other one fills up.
Guillermo Mora:
Bachelor of Fine Arts by Universidad Complutense de Madrid, National Prize for Fine Arts by the Spanish Ministry of Education. In 2005 he received the Visual Arts Scholarship from the Rafael Botí Plastic Arts Foundation of Cordoba. A year later he obtained a scholarship for The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (USA) and in 2008 he was awarded a Postgraduate Scholarship by the La Caixa Foundation to pursue a Master's in Contemporary Art at Universidad Europea de Madrid. In 2009 he obtained an Aid for the promotion of contemporary Spanish art by the Ministry of Culture to carry out an individual project at La Casa de la Entrevista in Alcalá de Henares. That same year he also had a solo exhibition at the Centro de Arte Joven of Madrid (curated by Virginia Torrente) and was selected to participate in Circuitos 08. His work has also been exhibited in venues such as La Casa Encendida, Unión Fenosa's Museum of Contemporary Art and ARCO '10 and MACO Mexico City 2010. One of the most notable among his recent awards is the Honourable Mention in the XI ABC Awards, and international exhibitions such as:
