Yulele

About

'Yulele’ is an invented word: a playful pun and an ode to the South. Whether pinned to the wall or spread out over the floor, their works run parallel in tune: Rodriguez Blanco’s minimal aesthetic and the striking quality of his childlike grown-up objects convey a well-thought process that respond to Vinck’s complex paintings and intricate details. The exhibition brings together freestanding installation, painting and watercolors. Visitors are invited to move and walk amongst the work, in which no two angles provide the same entry point.

About the artists:

Christian Vinck Henriquez (b.1978 in Maracaibo, Venezuela) lives and works in Madrid. What is important to him, as a painter is not his subjects, but his technique. His palette is delicate and expressive. Painting offers a means to weave personal and daily narratives through the history of Latin America. He renders epic themes on intimate scales.

Onomatopeyas visuales en tiempos difíciles, Carmen Araujo Arte & Casa vieja de Hacienda La Trinidad, Caracas, Venezuela for Ch.ACO Art Fair, Santiago, Chile (2017).

Pablo Rodríguez Blanco (b.1987 in Santiago de Chile) is currently based in London, where he is completing an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art. His practice is concerned with playing and its shadow. His work circles the idea of a common knowledge––an intrinsic human ability derived from children's universal games and that intersects with a collective memory of social interactions.
