WHAT IS ESPOSITIVO?
Espositivo is a gallery of urban art, which means not only street art, but all the art created in and around big cities and that inspire the artists living there, regardless of the discipline in which they work. The space will exhibit a total of six projects of national and international artists each season. In this catalogue we have gathered this year’s overview of artists wich the collective works of Borondo, NemO’s , Desi Civera and An Wei.

OKUDA & ROSH333
Between two...
Initially, urban art was found in facilities, stations and metro cars, an ecosystem suitable for its slogans and designs. To name just one example, Keith Haring (now commercialized to extremes) started in that environment. In the last months, multiple works and figures, made by different artists, have graced the walls of several metro stops in Madrid. It used to be an act of political criticism, cheekiness and counterculture, however, nowadays it’s with the approval of institutions, which does not make it negligible, of course. The last duo to perform such ‘street art’ have been OKUDA and Rosh 333, collaborating for the first time, in the new metro station dedicated to Paco de Lucia. The master Enrique Morente said that in flamenco it comes down to translating the tradition and be aware of the treachery that is always implicit in the transaction. In the work that these two artists perform together there is also a kind of translation, but not so much a betrayal, more a metamorphosis. It is a dialogue between two artists that develops between the two of them. Because, in the end, the translation is something that stays between them, between the text and style of the original autor and the author-translator. In this case, both artists work on a dialogue that creates a space opening up between their two personalities. The works that they sign together are also a ‘between-two’, not only for the names of the works, Between two universes and Between two waters, but also in a formal aspect. The junction of the two styles, mixed together, almost contradictory, is harmoniously dissonant. the pastels of Rosh 333 are transformed into the powerful colors of OKUDA, and the abstraction of the one lives and collides with the figurative style of the other. Between two waters showcases the master of the guitar deconstructed in triangles, like it were a map. The mapping of passion hides the coexistence between the agresive chaos and the restrained gesture. The calculated disorder that arises from the explosion of stars from OKUDA or his confrontation of structures, spheres and graphics brings us to a universe of surrealism, abstraction and weightlessness. The world that dialoges with the organisms of Rosh 333, conducted with spray paint and varnish. This circular element, which is the face in Between two waters and the half of the chaotic star and the penetrating eye in Between two universes, is almost like a mandala that emerges (or explodes, like the star) from the center, the core (that what in a mandala is called a bindu), like a representation of the universe. A conversation between two artists that create a parallel chaos in continuous movement. The floating spheres in the works of OKUDA seem to be troubled, like the lines of Rosh 333, dedicated to Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez. What we see here is an orphism, this strange colored and abstract form of cubism practiced by Delaunay in the twenty-first century, where the turmoil doesn’t come as a surprise, with the speed at which new technologies are developed, if not for the fiasco of the system in which we live.
