ZERPABZUETA

If novelty is an essential part of art, and revisiting established paths while exploring new possibilities is an obligation for artists, we can see that Carlos Zerpabzueta treads a prolific and legitimate path in his personal pursuits. Perhaps the universal magnetism emanating from his work stems from the most intimate human essence to which this sense of order belongs, aptly contextualized by his ongoing experimentation with materials and aesthetics intrinsic to the time we live in. The work speaks for itself about the artist who created it, and in Carlos Zerpabzueta’s case, more for what it suggests to us than for what we explicitly find in it.

Carlos Zerpabzueta has established a fascinating process rooted in the deconstruction and fragmentation of images circulating in the media, employing technology and informatics with remarkable precision and creativity. His work elevates the poetic definition of space to extraordinary levels. The starting point is the image as information: a way of conceptualizing perception through digital visuality. Along the way, the role of the artist evolves into that of a social communicator, whose refined perception enhances their observational skills to generate alternate realities.

Carlos Zerpabzueta has given form to the information that floats, flows, and connects through codifications in an indeterminate space — one we cannot imagine, one that eludes the references of the physics we know. The task the image invites us to undertake — to move from one unit of information to another, traversing the infinity of connections — proves futile, as we soon realize we are trapped in its profound, intricate, and elusive labyrinth. The spatial complexity generated multiplies through the introduction of a reflection that unfolds upward or downward, lending the work a ghostly quality.
