Artist Biography: Lluís Hortalà (Olot, 1959) studied in 2014 and 2015 at the prestigious Van der Kelen Logelain school to learn the techniques that Alfred Van der Kelen left established in the late nineteenth century for decorative painting. There he prepared himself to imitate the texture of marble, which he now masterfully applies to a set of falsely voluminous objects. His purpose is to capture the viewer's gaze and immerse it in a web of tensions and contortions, thus bringing into play a certain archeology of the scopic regime from the very physical affectation of the eye. The trompe-l'oeil allows Hortalà to return the reflection on art and visuality to the bodily experience through a set of objects that manage to deceive the eye again and again -despite the fact that the viewer's conscience seems to have discovered the trick.
