We are launching Focus Lab, an innovative addition that serves as a dynamic showcase, featuring a small yet powerful representation of one artist's current work, ongoing projects, or captivating interventions. Positioned prominently along the area facing the street, Focus invites passersby to witness the evolution of artistic expression in real time. In this section, we break away from conventional exhibition norms, offering a glimpse into the creative process and the unfolding narratives behind the artworks.
The first artist will be Marlon Portales, who is currently approaching painting through an underlying symbolic and formal metamorphosis process. He aims to imprint on the canvas a trace brimming with movement, energy, and sensuality, a space where the depicted scenarios and characters emerge in an ambiguous manner – disquieting, contemplative, and charged with energy, at times ecstatic, at other times reflective. “Painting is always a fiction, an abstraction drawn from reality” - the artist refers.
