'Mal d' Arxius' by Marta Juan Martorell

The exhibition from Mallorcan artist Marta Juan Martorell presents a series of works made over the last two years , plus some specific works created for this exhibition like a mural based on artists' books.

The wide variety of techniques, materials and formats used, merely demonstrate the broad technical range that this artist handles when working. Based on the concept of palimpsest (manuscript whose surface retains traces of a previous writing) and using the technique of collage, marta Juan juxtaposed on the surface of the work different photographs, drawings , paintings, etc. .

In this way she creates a visual diary with fragments of places, souvenirs, travels, or colors that resemble the urban landscape in which walls of the cities become real palimpsests where modern graffiti, advertising posters , etc. are mixed.
