“Positions”

The “Positions” series derives from the transformation from painting to object, or the transition from the two-dimensional into the three-dimensional. The results are assemblages thought with a flat wall in mind and the geometric construction of superpositions that come out of the circumference, with intertwined elements through different configurations that emanate the artist’s characteristic color palette or the manipulable movements of some of the pieces of the series. Through “Positions” Ibáñez proposes the visual exploration of mathematical concepts that analyze how it is that these forms develop in space and the exploration between painting, sculpture, and Architecture to denote the nonexistent subjection among the disciplines. 

“Concave Surfaces”

“Concave Surfaces” is presented as a counterproposal, in which the boundaries of the wall are trespassed. The artwork is placed inside, breaking a part from every formality as well as from the conventional museographic aesthetic. In that sense, it goes one step further from classic Geometry to be inserted in the investigation of more modern visions about the relationship between forms, concretizing the transformations, transitions and fluidity of the artwork in space. The research behind “Concave Surfaces” revisits the idea of plastic integration to Architecture raised by the muralist movement and the dynamic spaces that are reduced to a wall, one of the main elements in architectural spaces.
