DimaslA
DimaslA is formed by Diana Lozano plus Álvaro Jaén. Their work reveals a time lived through the flatness of paint. Their inspiration for it springs up from the observation, thoughts and feelings about the little things of everyday life. Events that lead to a deep interaction with the context of their personal situation, transforming their daily habits into performative actions that intensify the circumstances of ordinary life, to reach an aesthetic experience of the ordinary. In this way, the works emerge as testimony to a concrete situation, where colour, matter, spatiality, or the absence of these, evokes the sensory experience through the simple presence of resistance. DimaslA also combines a variety of historical art references and influences, from Joseph Beuys and his affirmation to how life processes can be understood as a creative act, to the methods of chance in the work process of John Cage, through the action paintings of Klein, the paint flatness of Abstract Expressionism, the reductionism of Minimal Art or monochrome painting as the real presence of the artistic object.
