Carlos Cartaxo Presents Site-Specific Installation at CentroCentro's EPICENTRO Program
Valladolid native Carlos Cartaxo is showcasing a site-specific installation named In-situ, 2026, at Madrid's CentroCentro, part of the EPICENTRO initiative for mid-career artists. His artwork delves into contemporary abstraction and innovative constructivisms, aiming to transform how space is perceived and infuse it with new meanings through fleeting human experiences. Cartaxo treats space as an extension of painting or as an independent sculpture, where fragmentation and directional changes lead to a self-referential piece. Drawing inspiration from Kurt Schwitters's Merzbau, he highlights relief, enabling viewers to simultaneously experience painting, sculpture, and architecture. The installation reshapes visual narratives through light, pathways, and perspectives. The exhibition is currently available for viewing at CentroCentro.
