Fernando Sánchez Castillo

The exhibition The Wayward Pearl takes its title from a famous jewel, La Perla Peregrina, discovered in Panama in the sixteenth century. The artist works from the remains of history, from the alteration of materials, scale and uses that subvert the relationship to them and activate new layers of meaning. His work, and its installation in this show, acts as a critical device which intervenes in the imaginaries from which power builds its authority, prompting viewers to question the reason for its order and its contradictions.
