Matías Ercole's 'Me olvidé de mis ojos' at CAB Burgos

Matías Ercole presents 'Me olvidé de mis ojos' at CAB Centro de Arte Caja Burgos, running until May 31, 2026. The exhibition explores a Deleuzian 'body without organs' by suspending the dominant eye to liberate other modes of perception. Ercole's esgrafiado technique—covering surfaces in black then scratching to reveal white lines and color layers—critiques the 'transparent' surface of modernity, uncovering silenced memories and colonial histories. The landscapes merge European classical style with Latin American muralism, creating 'in-between' spaces that challenge center/periphery divisions. The works reject easy consumption, embracing mystery and slow contemplation. Ercole proposes a disobedient gaze: seeing with the body, not the canon, and accepting other relationships with territory beyond visual domination. The exhibition transforms the gallery into an organism of drawn walls, passages, doors, and unstable ceilings, where the viewer is no longer master of the landscape but part of a network of forces.
