The given text in Chinese can be translated to English as follows: "With an impulsive mark-making combined with rational composition shapes and the final addition of details, the balance of the image is also what Beñat Olaberria explores in his visual work. He has expressed that he incorporates his two contrasting personalities - impulsiveness and control freak tendencies - into his paintings. The dripping and thick application of pigments serve as the release of emotions, appearing like unfinished sketches but also overlapping spaces where visual, intellectual, and emotional intersections extend."
Artist
Beñat Olaberria
(Spain, b.1970)
With a master's degree from the London City Art Institute, Beñat Olaberria currently creates and resides in London. His work, created in a non-impressionistic, non-narrative, and non-reductive manner, explores the unknown realms of form, composition, rhythm, and balance. Olaberria likens his creative process to a "walk," an adventurous journey where the final destination is uncertain. His pencil lines and heavy acrylic pigments present an incomplete and uncertain aspect through abstract compositions. Olaberria opposes predefined visual interpretations of his work, leaving gaps for viewers to interpret based on their experiences, creating multiple ways of understanding. The diverse materials he employs, including pencil, acrylic paint, clay, and charcoal, contribute to the layered and open-ended nature of his works. The exhibition will showcase Olaberria's latest works from 2023, inviting viewers to perceive and fill the gaps between their past experiences and the artwork.
