Mixed media on canvas, HUB75 P2.5 LED matrix

HUB75 is a project that integrates traditional painting and HUB75 LED panels into a single element, creating a hybrid territory where the materiality of painting dialogues with the digital image. Rather than alternating formats, Pelayo Tamargo proposes an expanded field in which pictorial narratives are extended and transformed on the pixel matrix, feeding off each other.

For this exhibition, the artist has created a series of female portraits in which the fingerprint amplifies the meaning and projection of the parts. To reinforce this experimental nature, each of the pieces reveals its more technological side by showing, on the back, the entire network of cables that make the LED panels work. This reinforces not only the creator’s direct and unambiguous attitude, but also his more aesthetic side. To this end, the works have been placed on scaffolding props, reinforcing the experimental and certainly underground nature of the ensemble. Similarly, the LED screens introduce their own visual logic—flashing, pixelated, bright—which contrasts with the very material of oil and charcoal. Inspired by arcade machines, neon signs and advertising banners, the work does not seek to illustrate painting, but rather to expand its visual code.
