Hander Lara

Don’t Play with History, 2015

Acrylic on canvas, 60 x 50 cm.


  • This exhibition, as a whole, is the rehearsal of a micro sensorium in which cultural references are intertwined weaving a steam cloud that is impossible to seize. Consequently, it generates sensitive, rationalizing, and even cognitive instability; it represents the forms in which men has appropriated and recreated the world.

After realizing his reflections about the incongruences of a unique art historiography in his showcase within the framework of the Biennial, Hander Lara incisively expresses, from the solid and attractive aestheticism of the paintings, the danger not telling the truth, forgetting, and even omitting, implies for history.
