Works of art enjoy the status of being instruments for the obtainment of pleasure and wisdom, or of being a “means of transport,” a vehicle for relating to reality. The illusion created is at the same time a way of capturing reality. Artworks are reality capsules.

Rotativa [Rotary] is a contemporary art exhibition that is structured upon the rota of diverse capsules, for many are the realities nowadays. Without a marked territory or a fixed order, the artworks in this show convey rotations of ways of understanding current art and life. The artist acts as a seeker of instants, one who condenses moments and translates realities. As stated by Francis Bacon the philosopher, “art is man added to nature.” The artist seeks to capture time, to seize moments from existence and store them under the guise of art – expressing them in a more purified or stylized form using the media at reach. More than samples of the work produced by each one of the 29 artists represented by the gallery, what we have here are different condensations of the realities we live.

Art is part of the facts of our times. Picasso once said that art is a lie that makes us realize the truth. Art is fulfilled when it dilutes this gap between experience and expression and in turn between expression and absorption. Art is an interactive phenomenon linking its making to its receiver. It can be found in the connections it establishes.

That is why we are here, as dealers and artists, because that’s how we see it. That is the reason for a contemporary art gallery: a field of exchange and interchange. That’s why we display and believe in the work of our artists – not only objects but propositions, relationship proposals. To believe in the strength of these propositions, in the good of it – when the relationship with art becomes a source of pleasure – involving subjectivity, dispositions, memories and sensations.

We are here to propose the appeal of living these experiences: the means through which the contents of art become part of the intimacy of each one and of a population´s culture, part of a broad social manifestation. Our intention, our highest aim, is to serve as stimulus for a continuous reflection and dialogue in art of the multiple and fascinating aspects related to the phenomenon of existence.
