Paper cut out Typography of city / PEDRO VARELA

PAPER CITY

In this exhibition I'm presenting a group of works made with paper, to construct a panorama of a paper city in a paper landscape.

- The cities Pedro Varela draws are far more connected to literature than to any reference in the visual arts. As if waiting for a text by Borges to accompany them, they reserve large blank spaces on the paper. They could also be mirages seen from afar by a character of A Thousand and One Nights, cities with female names like those by Italo Calvino, or castles from a tale we keep from the infancy of our experience in literature.

- I really like Pedro's work, I think the colours he uses are really interesting and I think that the paper cities are really astounding.
