Yusto Giner Gallery presents The Weight of the Immaterial in Marbella, the first solo exhibition in Spain by Mexican artist Horacio Quiroz (Mexico City, 1977), curated by Victoria Rivers.
The exhibition brings together a set of works that explore how the invisible influences the visible, addressing the relationship between body, identity, and spirituality from a posthumanist perspective. Quiroz reflects on contemporary hybridity and the dissolution of boundaries between the organic, the technological, and the spiritual.
Through his works, the artist constructs bodies and forms that overflow the traditional limits of representation, giving rise to figures that inhabit an intermediate territory between the human, the digital, and the mythical. His creations evoke the intangible, giving density to what remains hidden and proposing a dialogue between painting, artificial intelligence, and spirituality.
With this exhibition, Yusto Giner continues its commitment to artistic practices that expand the boundaries of painting and invite us to rethink contemporaneity from innovative and critical perspectives.
Horacio Quiroz’s rich pictorial representations of the human body unfold a universe of hybrid states and desires in motion.
With a previous career in international advertising, this self-taught painter began his artistic path in 2013 and has since developed work that moves between the beautiful and the grotesque, the utopian and the dystopian, the familiar and the unknown. Influenced by queer and ecological theories, Quiroz’s corporeal worlds reveal a cosmological awareness that expands the relationships between gender, identity, body, and environment.
He works with oil paint through a meticulous layering process, shaping each form with precision. His technique alternates between dense, textured passages and delicate glazes, showing a deep commitment to the materiality of painting.
His works, both highly detailed and fantastical, radiate a queer optimism paradoxically rooted in constant transformation. Based in Mexico City, Quiroz (b. 1977) earned his degree in Graphic Design from Universidad Iberoamericana. Three years after beginning his career as a painter, his work was selected for the prestigious XV Rufino Tamayo Painting Biennial in Mexico. He quickly became known for his hallucinatory works that present queer representations of the body, non- binary understandings of gender, and dreamlike states.
Quiroz has exhibited internationally in institutions, galleries, and fairs across Europe, the United Kingdom, China, Korea, Mexico, Canada, Australia, and the United States. His most recent solo exhibitions include: Cosmic Debris en JD Malat Gallery, Londres (2024), Lithopanspermia (solo booth) en UVNT ART FAIR con S Gallery, Madrid (2024), Goddesses of Spoiled Lands en Annka Kultys Gallery, Londres (2023), Retinas de Medusa en Galería Enrique Guerrero, Ciudad de México (2022), Disturbingly Lively en Galería Colector, Monterrey NL, México (2020), and Polarities en Booth Gallery, Nueva York (2018).
