The creativity of Socías’ photographic session with the two artists was the starting point for the pieces Gordillo and Arroyo present in this catalogue. The works show faces and masks, as if “reflecting a desire for theatricality in an ironic context,” Luis Gordillo explains. Alongside theworks by the two Spanish painters, a selection of photos by Jordi Socías is also included,giving the beholder an insight into the collusion and connection between Arroyo and Gordillo.
The distortion of the faces in the portraits made by the Catalan photographer dovetails neatly with the expressionism and sarcasm visible in the pieces by the two painters.
