Chema Madoz - La Forma en el Espacio

Photograph of my private collection by the great and well-known photographer Chema Madoz in a 40 cm high and 50 cm wide mat board, hand-signed by the artist on the same mat board.
Chema Madoz - "The Shape in Space".
In this space I will comment on Chema Madoz's work in which an element of form appears.
In this work, the element of projection stands out, easily recognizable by the perspective of the dirt road that contains the arrow in the middle. This road indicates the depth of the image and becomes narrower the farther away it is.

CHEMA MADOZ
Chema Madoz (Madrid, 1958) is one of the Spanish artists with the greatest national and international recognition in contemporary photography. During the 1980s the photographs offer a theatrical and surreal air, with a certain inheritance from Magritte. From the 1990s, Madoz begins to dispense with the idea of chance and substitutes it with a recreation of mental images.
He stops using external elements such as natural light or models and begins to develop the concept of objects from black and white.
He maintains careful lighting and simplicity in their presentation. The subjective function of the viewer's gaze, together with the use of a more elaborate and cryptic language, will be the constant theme in his photography.
His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries, museums, and art centers nationally and internationally. He has been awarded the Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts 2019 and the Aula de las Metáforas Award, National Photography Award by the Ministry of Culture and the PhotoEspaña Award.
