L’Atlas and Rolf Art are pleased to present Donde nunca haya estado*, a solo show by Santiago Porter. Curated by Joaquín Boz, it displays the most recent works of the Argentinian artist.

Donde nunca haya estado announces a turning point, a new approach by Santiago Porter. Working with organic, unstable, strange, and foreign materials Porter makes a leap & turns the page to stay longer within the painting practice. He enters into an unresolved space, with close references, forgetting any learned techniques, even to erase and try to understand new gestures. Porter wants to unlock something and that seems to be the cause of his entry into painting. He comes back to us with deliberate questions.
How do we get into places we’ve never been? Should it affect us? And if it affects us, how are we affected? What do we leave out and what do we take with us? And for an idea to be unlocked? An extensive period of time that proposes to release a new form, in this opportunity, perhaps forever.
