The Caja de Burgos Art Center (CAB), on the occasion of Magán’s Matter Matters exhibition, has published an extensive catalog that includes an essay written by the curator Javier del Campo.
“In Matter Matters, the title that David Magán chose for his exhibition, the artist wanted to force the viewer’s intuition, to lead them from the first impression offered by the fly system towards the subtlety of personal experience; from the machinery with which he organizes each work, to the emotion that precedes the discovery of the true entity of his proposal: the intangible as physical matter.”
“In David Magán’s experience (let’s remember, with Albers, that all colour theory must be propositional and not merely theoretical), the weight of colour exceeds its size beyond the assigned area, while the luminosity erases the limits of the plane and engenders a desire for infinity.”
