Bruno Duarte Exhibition: Living Prism
Bruno Duarte is a Mexican artist represented by Georges Berges Gallery (New York, Berlin). His work is emotionally powerful, born from an intimate need to translate his own emotions and ideas into pictorial material. Influenced by pre-Columbian art, Mexican muralism, and the expressive power of Abstract Expressionism, Duarte navigates between dense textures and energetic strokes to capture moods rather than images. From pigments to cement, his materials are chosen with freedom and honesty, dictated by the emotional urgency of each work. His creative process does not end with the final brushstroke: his paintings continue to transform over time, revealing new layers of meaning. For Bruno, painting is a form of dialogue with the viewer, a sincere attempt to share raw and complex emotions. This search—unfinished, open, honest—is at the core of his artistic practice.
His exhibition "Living Prism" opens on June 21, 2025, at 1:00 PM, at the Museo de la Vid y el Vino (Ensenada, Baja California).
Bruno Duarte presents a new painting exhibition in which proportions and colors dance to make us imagine more than simple abstractions. The artist himself has commented that in his search for forms and strokes, he has found an opportunity to express the emotions that overwhelm him. Abstraction is preponderant in his new paintings, although the saturation of color and the search for hidden figures is the theme that gives life to the prisms whose base proposes the genesis of the work.
He invites us to reflect on the strokes and figures, on the dance of colors between light and dark. He seeks a deeply human discourse in the forms and also in the meanings that the figures can evoke. It challenges the imagination between the abstract and the symbolic, in a surreal game that combines our ability to rationalize dreams with our capacity to imagine something beyond the obvious. It suggests glimpses of esoteric icons and hidden environments, as well as light passing through a prism that allows us to rediscover the tones of the world, as a visual metaphor for universal duality.
