ART-GALLERY
Purelines is born with the firm purpose of supporting integrity and creative uniqueness, inviting our artists to go beyond mere pictorial representation and embark on a journey of semantic transformation that allows us to reflect on the variation of visual meaning. This process is an exchange with the viewer, akin to osmosis with nature.
Our gallery is a space of limitless freedom and creativity, where every visitor becomes a conspirator and collaborator in the reinterpretation of visual meaning. Join us and let yourself be enveloped by the dynamic power of artistic experimentation and, with the piece of art you choose to coexist with.
The hand that guides his brother
Ricardo House
Chile, Mexico, Barcelona. Film director, documentarian, and illustrator. Fate revealed his talent as an illustrator in 2021, when after a phone call during which he had been doodling on a sheet, only to crumple it up and throw it away, his partner retrieved the crumpled paper from the wastebasket and, looking at the drawing, said, "you're crazy, Ricardo, how could you throw this away?"
At that very moment, the artist, detached from himself, regained awareness - the awareness of his hand - to transcend it and vehemently state that it's moved by his brother, a talented painter who passed away prematurely at the age of 32.
"Get over the line" is a collection of works by Ricardo House inspired by the sea, serving as a metaphor for a vibrant and energetic pictorial ensemble. It's a space shaped by vastness, exile, and human dispersion. The uniqueness of his work lies in that bold and continuous stroke, an allegory of boundaries and separation. Within his lines, we can perceive constant movement and fluidity, evoking these displacements - a central axis of his work, depicted in a modern manner with remarkable technical and stylistic freshness.
House, with his dynamic, unpredictable, and gestural strokes, invites us to reflect on the challenges and hopes of those forced to leave their land. The carefully balanced composition shows us how, despite distance and cultural differences, there is an intrinsic connection among all human beings.
