EXHIBITION

Pleased to present the online exclusive solo exhibition, "Identidades Expuestas", showcasing the remarkable paintings of Esteban Urenda, a prominent Mexican artist. This exhibition delves into the profound exploration of exposed bodies as a means to navigate the complexities of our daily experiences, societal influences, and the formation of our identities.

In the contemporary world, the impact of the capitalist era has heightened our collective obsession with bodies and their representation. Esteban Urenda, influenced by the insightful words of Spanish trans philosopher Paul B. Preciado, recognizes that our bodies and sexuality have become the factories of our modern era. In response, Urenda seeks to create a space within the realm of painting for the diverse bodies that encompass our society.

Urenda's artistic quest has always revolved around the notion of the "experience of being" and its tangible manifestation in the flesh. Through the genre of portraiture and the exploration of bodies, Urenda continuously reflects upon our inherent human fragility. Each stroke of his brush captures the essence of our triumphs and shortcomings, our uncertainties and certainties, and the profound interplay between our past and future. The canvas becomes a mirror reflecting the complexities of our existence.

"Identidades Expuestas" invites viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and introspection. Urenda reinvents these fundamental concepts with unwavering intensity, resulting in visually captivating and meticulously crafted images. The chaotic beauty that emerges from his paintings embodies both indomitability and perfectionism.

Esteban Urenda's oeuvre is a testament to his relentless pursuit of self-expression and self-discovery. His works resonate with audiences as they navigate the depths of their own identities. By delving into the profound connection between the tangible and intangible aspects of being, Urenda invites viewers to reflect upon their own existence and the intricacies of the human experience.

Private viewing rooms, artwork details and and collector acquisitions are available on ARTSY.
