Concealed Spaces, Ballester’s first individual museum exhibit in the United States, presents twenty-four large-scale photographs inspired by art history’s masterpieces, including works by Botticelli, Fra Angelicio, Géricault, Goya, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Velázquez, and Vermeer, among others. The artist erases all living beings and eliminates all references to action from the original works, and re-creates different scenarios where nature and architecture become the main subjects. “Nature, simplicity and spontaneity are qualities he transmits through his landscapes and architectural settings. In the end, it is the ideal of living in harmony, the spirituality of the magnificent landscapes and the majesty of Ballester’s monumental pieces that make them unique and inspiring,” says the curator of the exhibition, Francine Birbragher-Rozencwaig.
