Imminent Threshold | Hugo Robledo

Mexican artist Hugo Robledo investigates the boundaries between figuration and abstraction in his work, and his pictorial compositions often originate from old illustrated encyclopedias and the Internet, from which he extracts images related to architectural plans, technical diagrams, means of transport, and obsolete technologies. The collapse of the future is a project he has been working on for several years, combining an abstract and geometric language with a reflection on the ideas of architecture, space, progress, and nostalgia, which highlight the contradictory tensions of the era we live in.
