The title of the show 'From Bad Bats To Fat Cats' is a reference to two paintings that can be found in the exhibition. Namely 'Bad Bat' and 'Fat Cat'. The title, which is meant to be humorous, summarizes the whole series nicely and reveals something in which the viewer will be immersed when he or she walks into the gallery. More specifically, a fanciful black and white world that is much more colorful than you might think and where you come face to face with figures ranging from Bad Bats To Fat Cats and everything in between. |
In a fluctuating world like the one that surrounds us, images are like the fabric depigmented by salt water, fragile and malleable, infinitely interpretable. Contradictions are also part of the visual ecosystem and the currents of trends and information flows. One of the recurring themes in conversations with Sastre is always the concern about the relationship with the ecosystem and the material production of images. Is it possible to produce with ecological awareness? The conversations, always intermittent, chain reactions and reflections from some shared image and some uncomfortable event. Discomfort is a state of alertness and wakefulness.
