MEXICO CITY.- As a result of a playful exercise, a selection of drawings made by Jonathan Miralda with editorial purposes has been translated into the pictorial field and Galería de Arte Mexicano hosts it in an exhibition that synthesizes the artist motifs throughout his career: the city and its inhabitants.

The formal depuration that characterizes this series of works has displaced the illustrative role of his compositions, leading them to geometric explorations which transform the space into a character. The city is a flexible and labile being, populated by billboards, antennas, water tanks, circus tents, metal curtains, gates, water bodies and images reflected on smoked glass surfaces.

It is a dynamic and polymorphic city which seems to have a life of its own, we go deep into it from a character's point of view. Beholders observe as divers do, plunging into contorted that avoid any clear identification.

For this exhibition in Sala : GAM, dedicated to contemporary art, inside the gallery, the curators Esteban King, Juan Pérez Figueroa and Bartolomé Delmar have selected a series that can be understood as a meeting point for Miralda’s all elements and formal concerns.

Close to the caricature and illustration, the collected work is a bet to imagine an alternate world that seeks to subvert logic dictation and common sense, in Miralda’s imagery, the city can be landscape and character at the same time, the place where all the actions take place.
