José Enguídanos‘ art defies mere words. After all, how can anyone describe the feeling that arises when a seemingly familiar place suddenly and inexplicably appears eerie and otherworldly? This indescribable, elusive sentiment is precisely what the Spanish painter‘s works conjure, leaving the viewer in a state of initial unease and mild perplexity, yet ultimately instilling a sense of curiosity and fascination. It is within this field of tension that the particular fascination of José Enguídanos‘ paintings unfolds.
In his solo exhibition, Arquitectura del Alma ∙ Architektur der Seele, the artist presents a new series of works exploring the interaction between architecture and nature. As is often the case in the painter‘s oeuvre, born in Albacete in 1962, the viewer is confronted with scenes that uniquely combine reality and illusion. Desolate landscapes amped up with atmosphere, shrouded in mystery and bearing an almost apocalyptic aura, unfold before the viewer‘s eyes, bearing witness to a surreal realm brimming with magic and enigma.
