there was a silent tinfoil rapping against the front door (Project Room)

back to current exhibition

Chris Rubin de la Borbolla presents a series of recent paintings titled "there was a silent tinfoil rapping against the front door". Chris works in an ever-changing environment where the lines of traditional and commercial forms of expression are blurred. He uses technology as a means to appropriate materials on all sensory fronts, reassembles them, and distributes them across numerous media. His work involves an equal employment of scientific and artistic reason. Chris' new paintings explore the superficially blurred conversations between relationship and conflict in both cultural and personal life. The work mirrors this dynamic conflict through an amalgamation of contemporary culture and events with a distinct edge influenced by graffiti, pop imagery, cutout magazine text, books street culture and personal musings. De la Borbolla's paintings can be seen as "images with a cerebral pulse" that push the medium of painting yet find a common ground in their conversation with the social, the political and the real.
