The exhibition Migrations focuses on a series of drawings by Peri Helio. Works, some of them unpublished, most of which have been created from the spring of 2020 to the present day.
His work has been greatly influenced by the birdsong that Peri could hear effortlessly from his home. Uneven birds, with heads of unlikely shapes, become the protagonists of his prints.
Not only do these works give shape to the exhibition, but it is extended by other previous works that connect perfectly with this bird world. Works that serve as a stage for the flight of these birds, which travel along migratory routes between parallel realities.
The imagery to which Peri is so accustomed, with its paradoxical structures and fantastic animals, blends masterfully with this new repertoire. A whole symbolism shapes the author’s personal universe in which surrealism, architecture and nature play a very important role.
The result of this work is a set of images in which one can appreciate a very meticulous and delicate artistic language, related to his other passions: astronomy and mathematics. Infinite strokes intertwine, inventing impossible objects, and large opaque gaps push us to submerge ourselves in the depths of his universe.
From the Cuña-Casasbellas Foundation we invite you to the Sala Versus where you can come for a walk, in this case a flight from which you can glimpse the productive genius of Peri Helio.
