Feelers

The exhibition by Arobal wraps around the idea of energetic flows, making noticeable what is invisible but supportive of relations among beings settled in the world we live in.
As we divided beings into kinds and genres in order to describe, single out and select according to usefulness and to control, human culture caused a kind of partition of organic, unnamed chaos of life. This cognitive duality between sensation and rationalization, between verified knowledge and impossibility to transfer appears to be pivotal for the artist's practice. Intentionally queering strategies of representation in art, Arobal constructs the non-normative, non- evident emotional world relentlessly striving towards energetic compatibility.
The artist is seeking common root for wild flora of otherness from the perspective of an uprooted migrant and a meditating Buddhist. In the exhibition an animal, floral and erotic motives are presented in a form of installation, where drawings are not individual phenomena but the roles played to visualize his art philosophy, where visible and invisible are equal.
What Arobal proposes is a space being in common, where two-dimensionality of drawing undergoes the process of raising, transforming gallery space – a machinery of validation and objectification - into sensual and energetic adventure of diversity.
The exhibition is a proposal to look at art the way, where veristic perfection of his drawings becomes a medium of tender, emotional relations diverted into getting to know the world both joyfully chaotic and at the same time in common, where single phenomena of life reach out for each other with invisible feelers.
