Diego Tirigall
La Mirada

2024

About the Item

"La Mirada" ("The Gaze"), a title that captures the essence of the penetrating gaze that dominates this canvas, is an exemplary piece that showcases the transformative artistry of Tirigall. This painting is a striking re-imagination of an earlier work, where the central figure of a diamond, once the heart of the composition, is ingeniously repurposed to form the nose of a compelling face. The eyes, etched with vivacious strokes, command attention, their stare imbuing the painting with a life of its own. A bold 'X' intersects the visage, adding a layer of complexity and perhaps hinting at the multifaceted nature of perception itself. The canvas is a textured tapestry, brought to life with layers of aged papers, each piece treated with tea and coffee and baked to perfection to achieve an antique patina. This meticulous process, reminiscent of Tirigall's earlier work "Perturbator," gives the background a rich, tactile depth, with the invoices' pink and white hues peeking through, adding a warm, intimate contrast to the stark boldness of the overlaid imagery. "La Mirada" ("The Gaze") extends beyond the visual impact of its deep gaze; it is a dialogue with time, texture, and transformation. It is a testament to the artist's continued exploration of materials and their metamorphosis, as mundane elements are elevated to art through the alchemy of his creative vision. This piece does not merely represent a face; it is a gateway into the soul of the street, the urban canvas, and the enduring human narrative etched within.

  • Instant Society - Basquiat Style, 2022
    Located in OIA, ES
    "Nestcafe Society" and Corporate Ideals A striking painting by Diego Tirigall prompts deep thoughts about the relationship between appearances and reality. The painting features a rough sketch of a well-known instant coffee brand logo with words "N3stcafe Society" beneath it. This serves as a powerful symbol of the illusions that society and corporate ideals can create. The Illusion of High-Quality Coffee The painting highlights the gap between the promise of high-quality coffee and the reality of mass-produced, preservative-filled coffee packaged in an industrial jar. The large axe that cuts through the words "N3stcafe Society" symbolizes the destruction of these false promises and the consequences of pretending to be something one is not. The red coffee jar...
