About the Item

This series by the multidisciplinary artist TUSET (1997, A Coruña, Spain) titled "Land paintings (or what painting is not)", is a series of paintings that the artist had buried for a year in the old orchard of his house, now abandoned, like most farms in rural areas of Spain. The painting measures 52 x 42 cm, it is made of organic cotton and red pine wood from the same territory where the artist produces these paintings, his native village, a valley where less than 100 inhabitants live (Monteagudo, Galicia, Spain). In the artist's own words about this series of works: "With these works I did what has always been done with the land, cultivate it but in this case instead of planting legumes or vegetables, I planted paintings, buried them in the field where just last year corn grew in spurts and this year... let me know to my grandmother that these paintings sprang from the earth and she replied: “everything comes out of the land.” I see influences in this work from the works of Giovanni Anselmo and his use of agricultural materials or Alberto Burri with his “Cretto di Gibellina” (1984 - 1989) or Francis Alÿs, whom I have never lost track. These paintings are present by bringing the beauty and primitivism of nature closer to the viewer to create in them the awareness that they are part of an environment that surpasses all their conditions and their finite existence on the planet, fully criticizing the new leisure model, consumerist. Walter de Maria responded in an interview to something that I liked even though he is far from being a Christian or a believer and that is: “God has given us the earth and we have ignored it.” I also like to relate this series to him because really, like his artistic work, the earth is not a space for contemplation but for experimenting from within, meditating on it." TUSET (1997, A Coruña) is one of the most recognized artists of the millennial generation, his career has been advancing throughout these years with in situ work on the landscape, with the landscape and through the landscape. The organic elements in his work are a signature of the artist's identity and his concerns and aesthetic investigations follow a very straight path. His greatest concern is painting, about which he thinks and reflects in all his works. Without leaving aside the rest of the media with which he works and exhibits such as sculpture, installation, drawing or photography as well. He is situated between the manifestations of Land Art / Earthworks, Italian Art Povera, the Japanese Mono-Ha Group or Conceptual art among others. He has a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Vigo (Spain) and the University of Passo Fundo (Brazil). He has also studied Philosophy and has a master's degree in artistic and architectural heritage management. His work is present in several recognized private and institutional collections, is exhibited at art fairs and works with several galleries at this time. The work includes a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. If you need more photographs or information about the artist's available works, do not hesitate to contact us.
