Adrián Navarro seeks to expand the vocabulary of the visual arts, establishing connections between the pictorial medium, perception, architecture and abstraction.

His work is a product of a dialectical reflection: the pulsation of life that plays tensely with the role of our body in the artificial world. In his pictures he shows a number of elements that can usually be considered antithetical, facing gesture to geometry, background to figure, disorder to order, the virtual to the real, two-dimensional to volumetric.

An apparently informalist background made of gestural brushstrokes functions as an organic landscape, this plane is rendered by a uniform grid of white dots, showing a struggle between opposites that creates the effect of permeability and detachment on the viewer. Navarro’s visual exploration celebrates the dichotomy among physical confinement and expansive freedom in painting.

Adrián Navarro (Boston) lives and works in London. He started his artistic activity in New York in 2001, after graduating from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, School of Architecture. In 2008 Navarro completed his art studies in Central Saint Martin´s College of Art & Design.
