Sergio Gómez Fragments a 20-Meter Painting into Eight Pieces at Espacio Argén, Madrid
Sergio Gómez, also known as SRGER, hailing from Sevilla and born in 1983, showcases his artwork at Espacio Argén in Madrid. The centerpiece is a 2 x 20 meter painting produced during a residency in June. This large canvas has been divided into seven medium-sized pieces and one prominent 4 x 3 meter canvas, all arranged in a circular formation. The largest canvas is affixed to the wall, while the others stand independently. A long piece of raw canvas featuring a black stripe is placed on the floor. Upon entering, viewers can see the backs of the canvases, labeled RAL with a three-digit number. The exhibition is curated by Jordi Pallarès and backed by Tha House Social and El Palacio, under the direction of Amalio Gaitero.
