Starting off with painting, Jorge Abade (born in 1974) presents in PALIMPSESTS an almost saturated installation of paintings and objects in which hyper-reality is fictionalized in combinations of elements that evoke the body, sex and work that are a mockery of a conditioned view we accept without questioning. In a multiple and technically exemplary symbiosis between reality and the ready made, the hand is the predominant and symbolic element that places the artist as the creator of beauty and the manipulator of history and narratives. Among the circular canvases, in which the poetic and magical universe of his painting is evident, and the (almost) overflow of objects that expand through the walls and floor, which mix with the site specific intervention with ink and slogans, the artist presents an almost synthesis of his production, in many situations revised and reconfigured but that mark the depth of his thought and the extreme poetry of his gestures.
