Alejandro Cardenas: ARACHNE returns to drawing as the foundation of Cardenas' practice, with oil paintings on linen depicting faceless figures dancing, embracing, and exploring a millennia-old abandoned city. Conceived in Madrid, the exhibition extends into the gallery itself through a hand-drawn pencil grid on the walls, with ephemeral drawings that echo the world within the paintings. Living amid the weight of Madrid's art history has freed Cardenas from the pressures of contemporary artist identity, making this among his most personal bodies of work.
