José Guerrero. Concerning Landscape

Throughout the two decades of his career to date, the photography of José Guerrero (Granada, 1979) has approached landscape as a living entity upon which the cultural imprint of the past and the collective imagination are found. For many artists of his generation, photographing a landscape goes far beyond mere representation; it must be a way to evoke its multiple meanings, the relationships and tensions contained within it.

His work is systematically organized in series about iconographically and historically significant places: the Thames, Carrara, Sierra Nevada, La Mancha… Through a significant use of light, color and atmosphere, his images appeal to the cultural and emotional connotations of these spaces, leading the viewer to construct, through a poetic and meaning-filled gaze, their own narrative of what they are witnessing.

The exhibition covers more than two decades of his career to date. The journey follows a narrative sequence in series and themes that fold and unfold incessantly: from transparency to opacity, from representation to experimentation, from documentation to abstraction.
