Miguel Rael’s work moves between simple and cold shapes assumed by minimalism and thepost-minimalism’s worries and subjectivity. The artist avoids the discipline materializing his work with various techniques: video, photography, painting, sculpture and installation, always attentive to shapes, symbols, materials or the simple action realized on/with it, and its intrinsic transmitting capacity. Therefore, these productions deal with conceptual and sensible effects about the world.
His works is based on western tradition of representing the inmaterial and materializing the unrepresentable. This tension induced by the game of impossibles, is represented with cryptic and hermetics artworks that carry out with the symbols ambivalence. The ‘be-with’ turn into a clear identification of the power relations between the protagonists: the tether of hands playing with strings or belts that winds on the air in gears shape. (String Theory Series, The Line That Passes Through Series, Lover’sGame); the lights and shadows of Human Being oncologic substance: Particularly a Month Especially Dark or Deadline February 7. 2010; the expression of our fears, the terror of insecurity or our most unspeakable desires: Lover’s Game, The Much Feared (Fragile); the failure or frustration because of the exigency to reach the Capital’s dream perfection: We Fail, Untitled (Broken Concrete Cube in Pedestal); the disfigurement of masculinity mask: Bigdick3some, Series for the Glory, Series the Tension. Everything leads us to reformulate, renegotiate the postulates of Human identity.
