Raul CASASSOLA - Through the Looking Glass
Technique: Acrylic on Glass.
Artist Biography: Casassola "Raúl Muñoz", was born in 1982 in Móstoles, in the outskirts of Madrid. From an early age he was attracted by the countercultural environment that developed in working class neighborhoods during the 80's and 90's and especially by urban movements such as graffiti or punk music. In the artist's own words: "I've been doing art for as long as I can remember, I'm interested in everything that has to do with the human odyssey, I embrace with equal curiosity the excessive passions of first loves, as the implicit tragedy of the soup kitchens". Since then he has participated in numerous group exhibitions and urban art projects that have led him to visit numerous countries where his work is increasingly appreciated.Through the Looking-Glass series is an installation composed of 9 individual works, awarded and exhibited at the Mulafest 2016 Urban Art Festival. The work is created on the original mirrors of the old Plaza España Building, an architectural landmark created in the 50s by the engineers Jose María and Julian Otamendi, creating the first large vertical concrete structure, baroque facade of its main facade. It was the first "skyscraper" in Madrid, now converted into the RIU Plaza Hotel. Casassola rescued the mirrors from the previous ruin of the building, which fell into ostracism and uncertainty after being closed and sold to different owners until its current conversion into a five-star hotel. The works are photographed in the Huerto del Cura park in Fuenlabrada and in Mulafest itself, so that the reflection of the surroundings can be seen, without this being part of the work, but rather the reflection of the surroundings in the mirror. Through the Looking-Glass is a journey through the mirror of realities, the personal ones that philosophy tells us about, or the extra dimensions that we do not perceive and on which string theory is based. Like Alice, we go through the mirror and we do not discuss what we find there, we live it and that is enough. Title: Through the Looking-Glass COMPLETE WORK, COMPOSED OF 9 MIRRORS.
