Shiras Gallery opens a new exhibition on Thursday, May 28 at 7:00 p.m., featuring the work of Luis Fernández (Oviedo, 1967). Organized in collaboration with critic Juan Bautista Peiró, the show is accompanied by a text written for the artist’s latest project. The exhibition explores the relationship between painting and music, treating both as languages shaped by rhythm, intensity, harmony, and tension. As in a musical composition that shifts through changes in tempo, dynamics, and tonality, Fernández’s paintings examine how an image can be transformed through fragments, contrasts, and visual pathways that alter the viewer’s experience. He often begins with paintings from art history, selecting and delimiting scenes or details that he then reinterprets. Seen on their own, these sections can verge on abstraction; placed within the whole, they reveal a recognizable image in which figuration remains present. The result is a layered and changing visual experience in which each fragment contributes its own rhythm and intensity to the composition. The works encourage viewers to slow down, move across the pictorial space, and read each fragment as part of a sequence. In this way, time enters painting through a gradual experience that unfolds as the eye moves through the work.
