MATTER, COLOUR AND FORM IN MARTÍN MAS
The Gerhardt Braun gallery is showing the second solo exhibition of Martín Mas (Uruguay, 1974) at its Palma de Mallorca headquarters. The Matter Matters presents a new return of the artist with Balearic roots to wood, his main working medium. Although this comeback is not new but recurrent over the last few years, on each occasion a profound productive relationship is confirmed that leads to the creation of works of apparent simplicity, although with a complex base, in which geometric forms, clear lines and organic substrates predominate.
The group of works selected for the occasion has the visible characteristic of chromatic research, an exploration of colour as a complementary element in the technique of wood, configured as the necessary support to achieve new results that magnify the diverse textures and forms, lines and marks, converting his production into highly aesthetic elements.
Mas reaffirms the organicism of this sculpture with a pictorial nature, evolving on numerous occasions towards a double aspect of wood as a support and simultaneous product, and conceiving his production from the organic and the irregular to express a minimalist language of contemporary visual aesthetics.
The Matter Matters can be seen until 31 January at Gerhardt Braun, Sant Feliu, 15, Palma de Mallorca (Spain).

LITA CABELLUT IN DIALOGUE WITH GOYA
Goya's Los Disparates preceded, or marked, painting's entry into modernity. Beyond this historiographical note, the series by the Aragonese master captures with masterful imagery the vicissitudes of irony, sarcasm and the darkness of a reality that has lasted through time to the present day. The plates of his etchings become the surface that deposits this reality, and the result, once impregnated, works as a full reminder of the origin of our essence, our fears and our actions.
ANA AMORIM'S REGISTER OF THE ROUTINE
The exhibition Contar Rutinas (Counting Routines) dedicated by the Cerezales Antonino and Cinia Foundation to the work of Ana Amorim (São Paulo, Brazil, 1956) includes a selection of actions and performative works and installations that reflect the activity of the Brazilian artist from the 1980s to the present. The architecture of this exhibition is marked by the artist's daily conceptual and performative routines, reflecting their influence in the results of monumental dimensions.
