Mamarrachos is a reflection of format, gesture, and rules. In these works, which borrow from both painting and sculpture, Argote deliberately creates gestures that move both within and outside of a defined format. The series is inspired by the video Retouche (2008), also on view, in which the artist appears to spray paint two Piet Mondrian paintings at the Centre Pompidou. Mamarrachos creates a critical reflection on our relationship with the established norms through a simple, elegant, and sometimes humorous gesture.
