The wind whips it,
the rain soaks it,
yet it will not fade away,
even if the voices fall silent
and the names decay.
thou shall celebrate the perfection
of this world without end,
in which life faces dissolution
with strange glad, servile discipline, and wars of downfall,
for thy flesh is nothing
but a vessel for law ironclad.
yet it will not fade away:
see? the white horse stands upon the hill
with the faith of those who keep their gaze,
with the beauty death can never kill.
in october 2025 we hosted an exhibition by our dear friend Jose Antonio Morales, a painter born in jerez de la frontera (1999) and based in barcelona. his practice oscillates between painting, perception, and silence as an active space.
Jose Antonio conceives his paintings as “blind mirrors”: surfaces that do not return closed narratives, but invite a direct encounter with the self, like spaces for sustained presence. his references come from industrial and utilitarian environments, stripped of their original function. his method is accumulation: paint applied, sanded down, scratched, applied again. the surface as a record of time, labor, and friction. what endures through erosion is what interests him.
