BIO - Juan Giribaldi
Juan Giribaldi was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1982, where he currently lives and works. He uses painting as a semiotic battlefield between the real and the expected.
He employs geometry to systematize emotion and confronts abstraction by exploring a narrative concept. In figuration, he finds the disruptive element his work needed, and he has taken it to the extreme.
In the clash of these complementary opposites lies the investigation and poetics of this artist.
With a degree in visual arts from IUNA, Giribaldi also studied with numerous masters in their private studios. Since 2006, he has been continuously exhibiting his work as an artist. Additionally, he works as an art and film director.
EXHIBITION AURA
AURA develops narratives that we believe in, from color, shape, frequency, and the spiritual and intangible. The way we live, what we wear, and who we are in every choice.
When we think about creation and manifestation, Hilma af Klint is our reference. A radical painter and precursor of abstract and spiritualist painting, she created her first abstract paintings in 1906, before Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Malevich. According to her wishes, her work would only be exhibited twenty years after her death, in line with her conviction that the world was not ready to comprehend her art.
Musicality is in our nature and movement defines us, it is part of who we are. Music has always been and will always be present in providing that connection to the deepest part of this collective network and in a kind of synesthetic metaphor that we create with movement, color. If any animal symbolizes this collection, it is the hummingbird. Its plumage reflecting the sun, wings fluttering so fast that they hum at a universal frequency, the hummingbird is sacred in many cultures. It is a messenger of the gods, of men and of the afterlife
“...THE SELECTION OF ARTISTS AND THEIR INTERVENTIONS REFLECTS THE COGNITIVE RESOURCES
OF A UNIVERSAL HERITAGE, AWAKENING IN THE CHALLENGE AND IN THEIR PERSONAL
AND COLLECTIVE RESEARCH THE SHARED DREAM AND ONE OF OUR MOST
IMPORTANT CONSTRUCTIVE VERTICALS AT EYDDOS...”
