"The exercise of the imagination through writing and drawing is a recurring motif in the exhibition. (...) José Antonio Suárez Londoño translates into images the diaries of Franz Kafka. " (1) Massimiliano Gioni

José Antonio Suárez Londoño makes every day drawings in small notebooks, based on a specific literary text.

Werner Mannaers defines his drawings as after studies of his paintings. The works are almost concrete in his head before he even paints them. He doesn't allow matter and materiality to lead him and he tries to exclude the accidental.

One couldn't categorize some work as figurative or abstract, as 'It doesn't matter', according to Mannaers. Color equals form. Color is limited by itself. Just as color creates space in the work of Ellsworth Kelly and Donald Judd.
