Jorge Rosano Gamboa

Saenger Gallery invites you to a guided visit of the exhibition Ahí donde quiebra el camino by Jorge Rosano Gamboa, curated by Paola Santos Coy.

The body of work—paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and a papel picado installation—maps out an affective territory where Rosano’s artistic practice unfolds as a reflection on the image and its modes of manifestation. Each piece participates in a single gesture: that of making visible what occurs between matter and perception.

His work is woven together with the world of craftsmanship that has accompanied him since childhood. Through his parents’ handicraft shop in Tepoztlán, he became familiar with the country’s diverse techniques and the stories that sustain them: tales of nahuales, rituals, and mythologies that connect the human with the natural and the supernatural, the visible with the invisible. This material and collective memory runs through his practice and manifests in his experimentation with textile techniques, mineral pigments, fibers, and stone carving. From these collaborations, vocabularies emerge that operate between the visual and the tactile, between object and gesture.
