Karlos Gil (Talavera, 1989) explores ideas of nature and its transformation over deep geological to explore the “otherness” of our surrounding world. His practice examines the complex and often contradictory ways in which human beings relate with the natural world, layering his artworks with encrypted stories from science fiction, occultism, underground culture, nihilism, mythology and industrial and biological evolution. His latest projects are conceived as scenarios that generate new possibilities of co-dependence between events and the objects they produce, always reflecting on a manifest impression of the “fall of time”, decadence, ruin or obsolescence of historical time.
Karlos Gil studied at the School of Visuals Arts in New York and the School of Fine Arts in Lisbon and Madrid, where he obtained a doctorate in 2016. He has had several international exhibitions in spaces like Centre Pompidou, Paris; HKW, Berlin; Witte de With, Rotterdam; NTU CCA, Singapore, Gasworks, London; Fondazione Baruchello, Rome; CRAC-Montbeliard; Galería Luisa Strina, Sao Paulo; MARCO, Vigo; CA2M, Madrid.
