Catalogue for the group show Wanderings of the imagination [Other visions of geometry] at Odalys Art Gallery in Madrid, curated by Alfonso de la Torre.
“Sliding, as the essence of his being, the elevation of a world that frequently dematerializes the immaterial, or on the contrary, materializes the immaterial, a universe which emerges from light, it is the search of David Magán (Madrid, 1979). His inquiry emerged from lightness and mystery, proposed from certain hieroglyphics of light which emerged from another labyrinth, the vain conformation of the real. Its essence is a journey taken slowly among the very faint, which praises that which is constructed, an art inherited from those many artists who have always dreamed of lines and strange radiance emanating from that which is unknown 36 . As in this “Torre I” (2016), where the faint forms seem to expand in a certain eulogy of three-dimensional dynamism, we find a creation that evokes a writing in which light may reveal itself in the air: luminous planes, reverberations of color displaced in space, emulating forms, it resembles sometimes the vertigo of a journey into the faint. Meditating on the enigmas of the presence of light, and performing said inquiry about the possibility of the transfiguration of forms with impalpable radiance, reveals this illusion for tempting unknown spaces that wander, incandescent, through space, in such a way that his work is done not so much on the physical space in which things move, as in this other uncharted point, mysterious, an intermediate kingdom of vibrations, in which the perception of he who contemplates the artwork reigns.”
