The term Atlas is defined as a systemic collection of maps of various kinds, usually geographical or historical, of a specific territory, usually presented in one volume. In general terms it is understood as a grouping of descriptions belonging to a certain discipline. Throughout history, the artist has described his environment by establishing the landscape as a recurring motif in painting.
Under the slight influence of urban references, Vicent Machí presents his work in which the chromatic sense invades the canvas and where the pictorial register shows its possibilities from its most characteristic elements: the line and the stain; the stroke and the surface; the direction and the extension. The urban landscape and its most pictorial aspects serve as a premise in a self-absorbed work that describes itself, that uses painting as its main motif and resorts to its own elements as resources in its elaboration, giving the process and the construction of the image a leading role.
This exhibition, therefore, is nothing more than a cartography that presents the visual imaginary of the artist; on the one hand, it shows the urban dialogue traveled, lived and inhabited, which in a certain way influences the paintings and, on the other hand, we see the pictorial language used by the author to build his own images.
