In Spanish:
"'B' de Alejandro MAROTE es el segundo paso evolutivo en el estudio de la transformación plástica que tiene la materia. Tras abandonar la ciudad (libro 'A'), el autor se dirige ahora hacia el lugar donde los dos planos costeros fundamentales, la vertical de la palmera y la horizontal de la línea del mar, mantienen un pulso geométrico constante.
La cruz nacida tras ese encuentro, desvela los secretos que guarda la materia para sus cambios de estado y deja la puerta abierta para poder viajar desde una realidad sólida hacia las fronteras de la abstracción líquida." (publisher's note)
About the artist, Alejandro MAROTE (*1978 in Madrid):
Spanish artist Alejandro MAROTE is a member of Blank Paper a photographers collective which has been firmed in 2003 and consists of these photographers: Julián BARÓN, Ricardo CASES, Alejandro MAROTE, Óscar MONZÓN, Mario REY, Fosi VEGUE and Antonio M. XOUBANOVA.
Marote uses the photographic medium as a tool, and his practice is close to other techniques, such as painting or sculpture, but always working with traditional media (photographic film) and its physical qualities.
His work is a process of continuous accumulation of images where the trail of his encounter with reality is revealed. His projects become thus a plastic study where the constant search for balance between opposing forces drags him from the external and figurative face of existence to the center of pure abstraction.
Marote’s work has been exhibited both individually (Museum of Fine Arts in Castellón, CentroCentro Madrid, Gallery Unonueve) and collectively (Biennale Chongquing, China; Jorge Oteiza Museum Foundation, Navarra; PhotoEspaña 14; Galerie du 10, French Institute of Madrid ).
Other publications of Alejandro Marote:
'AB · STRACT', app of The Portable Photo collection published by EspadaySantacruz (2015)
'A', his first book, published by RM (2015)
