MATTER
How it all started? Back in 2018 Rommel Valgart and his family moved to San Cristóbal, Chiapas, Mexico. Where he rented a large place to live and work on his latest art collection called MATTER. This collection was a bit challenging since, after a lot of research of materials and experimentation day and night inside the Atelier, Valgart finally mastered the technique of pouring and painting with pigmented resins and mixing with oils and acrylics mediums, using the perfect quantities for the emulsion to solidify as it should.
ARTIST THOUGHTS
Perception & Expression. R. Valgart got inspired by the fact of living and dying every day, by the deterioration of the human body as MATTER represented by the figurative, it makes a semblance of how the universe is formed while it deteriorates, the detachment of MATTER from the body existence with all its chemical and physical compounds evokes the detachment and cycle of MATTER in the universe. In his MATTER paintings, some of the chemical components which are part of the human body and in the rest of the existence such as Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Calcium, Phosphorus and Sulfur, were expressed using the color palette of the mentioned chemical components.
THE EXHIBITION
Presented at La Tozi Gallery in 2018, Rommel Valgart presented during 6 months his solo Exhibition MATTER with 7 pieces, in San Cristóbal, Chiapas, Mexico. A couple of months later he commissioned a professional photographer to capture every piece. He later got the raw photos and Valgart personally reviewed them, adjusted and made them ready for GICLÉE print reproduction.
GALLERIST OWNER STATEMENT
Statement of MATTER paintings. In a context of social upheaval, of crisis in all spheres of the human, in the times when the death of all ethical statements is announced with neon lights in the museums, in the pages of the most erudite of the texts; in times where the originality of the ruptures is read as candid nostalgia, in these times where the fascination with the discoveries of quantum physics and the brutality of everyday life does not seem to surprise us anymore, that is where Valgart finds the perfect interstice to return to the more pristine of the philosophical problematizations, the question about the matter, even though at the beginning it was not posed with such precision, it was always there; the question by the nature of the things, by the split body and soul, and without a doubt the jumble of questions that are woven with the complexity of our times, all of them make us return to the question-statement that Valgart raises in the narrative of his pieces. Using the stylistic antinomy of abstractionism and figuration, he draws the historical and irreducible conflict between matter and consciousness. On each of his pieces a kind of hatching of consciousness is sketched, always having as a handle the unintelligible of the representation of the whole, and with the superposition of traces related to lyrical abstractionism, Valgart accentuates the polysemic character of matter through the game zoom in / zoom out in the interpretation of each piece, of that apparent chaos raises awareness or what he could call the conscious genius. The piece Diluted Matter stands as the Rosetta Stone of the narrative since it not only impeccably articulates the beginning and end of the series, but it also blurs the apparent anachronistic character of Valgart's acquisition and attacks us with the anguishing conclusion in the observation of the evolution of matter, and that is that consciousness, that is to say, we are nothing more than a happy accident.

The original painting Materia diluida has a size of 120x240 cm, and acrylic paint was also used in this particular Artwork (Interested in acquiring the original Art pieces?
