Gonzalo Borondo Goes to Church and Imagines the Opposite of Genesis – “Settimo Giorno” in Bologna

February 7, 2023 Artists

New images today from street artist/fine artist Borondo of his new exhibition in Bologna, “Settimo Giorno.”

In the historic and revered gallery venue at the Former Church of San Mattia, he creates eleven new works incorporating a complex video process unique to the artist. To generate narratives between painting and sculpture, he creates bas-reliefs and employs a layering of nets in a monochromatic scheme.

“In order to think about Genesis, it is necessary, in some way, to also think about its opposite. Thus, the energy of creation and the energy of destruction merge on the Seventh Day, giving life to an intermediary space that visitors will be able to see and walk through”.
