Arturo Comas
b. Seville, 1982
Arturo Comas earned his BFA from the University of Seville, and his work revolves around the idea of the absurd as a philosophy of life, the perfect state in which to question everything. His interests range from randomness and the ridiculous to insignificance and error. Although photography has comprised the bulk of his output so far, his latest works reach out to other disciplines such as installation, video and sculpture.
In recent years, his creations have been exhibited at Galería de Arte Luis Adelantado, Galería de Arte Espacio Olvera, Palma PHOTO, Galería Octubre (Castellón), Jäälphoto, Art&Breakfast, MUVIM (Valencia), Fundación Antonio Gala, the Córdoba Photography Biennial, Casa Sostoa (Málaga) and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Genalguacil Fernando Centeno, among other venues.
Actividades
Sevilla. From 25 May to 29 Jul 2018
In the work of Arturo Comas we find a series of operable mechanisms, objects the author activates while inviting us, the spectators, to imagine that we are also participating in that action. However, Comas’s devices possess the nonsensical quality of uselessness, and some even lead us to project all our fears and frustrations on them.
Córdoba. From 10 Nov to 29 Dec 2017
The exhibition is curated by Regina Pérez Castillo with the artists Artuto Comas, Álvaro Escalona, Miguel Ángel Benjumea and Fernando G. Méndez.
