Paul Sende
Bio
Paul Sende born in Buenos Aires in 1989. His first contact with the abstract was jazz and instrumental music that was heard at home day and night. He quickly stopped drawing faces in his preschool notebooks to start making geometric shapes. She spent hours dismantling electronic junk from a drawer at her grandparents' house, connecting little motors, lights, or anything to a battery to see what would happen. A little older, he bought sound toys in the “balance” section of the toy store, to intervene in his circuits and bring out new sounds from the underworld, beginning to cross the worlds of art and technology. In his preadolescence he became self-taught thanks to the internet and learned to use all kinds of software. At fourteen the animations of him made in Flash on MTV passed.
He studied Multimedia Arts at UNA, where he was able to experiment with different media and techniques. Thus he began to delimit his search in the fields of modularity, visual patterns, optical effects, light phenomena and kinetic experiences.
After graduating he was selected as an artist-in-residence at Betahaus Berlin. After living a few months abroad and exhibiting in different places, he returned to Buenos Aires and began his career as a visual artist within the contemporary art circuit, creating lighting installations, programmed objects, image-generating devices, serigraphs, paper cut-outs. and paintings, always within the framework of geometry and abstraction.
He exhibited both individually and collectively at the Malba Museum, Recoleta Cultural Center, Betahaus Berlin, Studio Cherie Berlin, Chien Noir Gallery, Palermo Hippodrome, Art Basel Miami, La Rural, among others.
Statement
Each of these universes presents a different technique, exploring various supports, materialities and modes of production, ranging from light sculptures, three-dimensional structures to serigraphs.
These resources that both broaden knowledge and mediate experience are arranged as a geometric fiction that, starring physical phenomena, leaves humanity in the background. While the pieces of light suggest a synthetic and modular landscape, the graphic works propose a collection of events at different scales. In their coexistence they articulate an ecosystem that is situated on the fine line between the artificial and the natural.
The construction of this fiction is structural, syntactic, vibratory. His process is inscribed in the exercise of concrete poetry, and in turn, in digital aesthetics. Both the color palette and the formal work tend to be fragmented and multiple, they are organized from the tension between the parts, in the divergence of their oscillations.
The digital and the analog in the process, the soft and the rigid of the forms, the technical and the sensitive in the discourse.
A poetics that risks thinking outside of itself, in the exercise of imagining the impossible. In the virtual possibility of discovering an unknown rhythm.
