Gabriel de la Mora — Sin título
Gabriel de la Mora

Sin título

1997

This mixed media composition presents a fragmented architectural interior rendered in oil paint, featuring a grid like structure with alternating wooden and dark panels. Within the composition, numerous small figurative forms, rendered in pale tones, populate the divided spaces, creating a sense of crowded domesticity or institutional order. The work incorporates varying color fields including deep blacks, warm wood tones, and areas of blue, while incorporating gestural marks and subtle text elements. The overall effect suggests themes of surveillance, confinement, or social organization through architectural means.

Medium
oil, paper, wood stick and rope collage on canvas
