In the work of Spanish artist Pipo Hernández Rivero, the landscape appears as a dominant element. These are images of nonexistent enclaves painted with a botanical vocation and without animal or human representation. These pictorial exercises do not aim to operate as an autonomous whole, but rather as a critical and self-sufficient option admissible in the debate about the present and future of contemporary painting. Rules not to be The artist uses plastic plugs to "map" large areas of the walls where the paintings hang, and the paintings themselves in their entirety. He plays with normalizing both surfaces by equalizing them through a regulated distribution of these plugs. It's also possible to find small coat racks that serve as hooks, on which viewers can hang their personal belongings. This is an exercise in the symbolism of the banal, inviting them to function as a kind of fetish of the accidental presence that every idea of existence entails.
