Goddamned Impetus for Living: Marcelino Barsi

As our inaugural show in Toronto, we are proud to present a solo show by Mexican artist Marcelino Barsi.

Through intuitive gestures translated into sculptures, textile paintings and textile drawings, Marcelino explores the notion of genuine motivations. The revolving thought at the centre of this exhibition is: "GODDAMNED IMPETUS FOR LIVING", this prompts questioning where do our motivations come from? What masks do we wear to try to shape those motivations to adhere to the social contract and what do we leave behind throughout every step of that process?

Marcelino utilizes these thoughts as leverage to create pieces that reflect a child-like honesty to his art-making process.
