Miguel Ángel Madrigal
(Mexico, 1974)
Madrigal explores different ways of manipulating objects and materials. He has challenged gravity - not only the physical but also the visual balance as well as the conventionality of artistic supports. He works with shapes and objects that we can recognize in our daily life, but when we relate them with others arbitrarily, they resignify themselves by radically changing our perception of them.
He has had more than 30 solo exhibitions and 80 group exhibitions in various museums, biennials, centers and galleries in Mexico and internationally in Spain, USA, Germany, Colombia, Canada, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Hong Kong, Japan, France, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, China, United Kingdom, to mention a few.
