N.A.S.A.L. is pleased to present La Criatura Infinita by José Pinto in our Mexico City space.
“The infinite creature is the very energy that invades the initial space—one that, at an earlier moment, was poor and homogeneous in its instrumental recognition—provoking, through its emergence, the activation of multiple environments. These are guided by vital impulses which, through their plastic and organic force, seek to sustain and nourish the elements that arise, thereby complicating what is perceived. In this way, a new sphere is revealed that penetrates the visual, generating an oscillation between the suspicion of an unfinished narrative and the glimpse of organisms that move beyond any concrete or immediate delimitation. It is a universe that inaugurates the impossible imagination of the living, through a minute approach—understood as a pause within the secret cavities of the living—that seeks to sketch a surrounding world capable of declaring its physical and complex dimension: an interconnection of diverse objects that signal the position of a landscape, projecting a singular and fantastical nature, guided by a blurred and simultaneous subjectivity, complicit with that which crosses and overlaps in search of unknown volumes.
The act of painting reveals, through its intuitive and diagrammatic process, a constant explosion that, by means of an expansive and unsettling condition, traces the marks of a multidimensionality that delves into the inherent systems producing the mobility of disturbing forms. In this sense, a strategy becomes fundamental—one conceived through the tension that invites dialogue between painting, video, and installation: the fixed and the movable, arising from a boundary recognized as a body interrupted by the irregular waves of the imagined and the touched, yearning to enter a creative chance that breaks with the artificial continuity imposed by the human, replaced instead by a line that contains fissures.
