“A minimalist artwork charged with surrealism,” says the press release about this new street art piece by Madrid-based Pejac in his city. Taking the opportunity of disrepair as an expanse in the imagination, the tiny forms are ant-like in their industry with flake paint providing oddly shaped morsels to save or cavort with.
Here in the neighborhood of Antoñita Jiménez, the artist adorns the exterior of the new VETA Gallery, perhaps as a meditation on artists role in gentrifying parts of cities – drawing attention to a place generally overlooked. In the southernmost area of the city, “this traditionally working-class neighborhood is one of the most diverse areas of the capital.” That is usually how it begins.
