• Imanol Marrodán. Bilbao 1964
• As an interdisciplinary maker and researcher, among other activities, he conducts critical research through various events related to art and contemporary thought, as part of his personal creative project. The concept of the boundary, inspired by the idea of the ancient Roman "limes" cited by Eugenio Trias as a metaphor for civilized, rationally controlled knowledge, forms the starting point for a concept of boundary that is not understood as the end of something, but as an instrument for the "beginning" of growth and evolution. This idea of seeking and exploring the unknown and of personal identity in relation to natural processes and rhythms is the central theme of Imanol Marrodán's work. The goal is to create an ever-broadening atlas of meanings with different connotations. We propose the construction of a metalanguage that encompasses the various stages and experiences lived as mental structures, metaphorically formed by Euclidean geometry and simultaneously by structures of fractal and intuitive organic thinking. It is the shaping process of an experience that shares a socio-political habitat in an industrial, materialistic, technological, and artificial world, in contrast to a natural environment closely connected to the laws of the universe, which we barely know but which we do feel and sense. He has exhibited in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Korea, Argentina, Chile, Switzerland, and the United States. His work has been shown at international contemporary art fairs such as ARCO, VALENCIA ART, ARTE SANTANDER, and DFOTO (Spain), ART COLOGNE and KUNST KÖLN (Germany), KIAF (Seoul, Korea), ArteBA (Buenos Aires, Argentina), BALELATINA (Basel, Switzerland), and so on.
