Piramidón to inaugurate “Un impulso de último momento” by Román de Castro as part of its Vermouth Saturdays

Piramidón, Centre d’Art Contemporani, will host a new edition of its Vermouth Saturdays this coming Saturday from 11 am to 2 pm, featuring the opening of the solo exhibition by artist Román de Castro, titled “Un impulso de último momento.”

In “Un impulso de último momento,” De Castro establishes a dialogue between Mexico City and Barcelona through the tiles depicted in the interiors of his works. The artist connects Mexican talavera and modernist Catalan tiles, two elements separated by thousands of kilometers yet sharing the same origin on the Iberian Peninsula. This relationship, more emotional than mimetic, is accompanied by references to Pedro Almodóvar, whom De Castro cites as a “pictorial” influence for the filmmaker’s use of color to create atmospheres rich in visual intensity.

Everyday objects take center stage, transformed into witnesses and containers of memory through their forms and the written messages they bear. In contrast, the characters hide their faces and remain anonymous, reinforcing a fragmented and poetic narrative that leaves each scene in suspension and invites viewers to complete the story.

Furthermore, at 1 pm, Ricard Casals will lead a guided tour of the exhibition, offering deeper insight into the conceptual and formal aspects of Román de Castro’s work.

Piramidón’s Vermouth Saturdays offer a unique opportunity to explore the work of resident artists while enjoying a vermouth, music, and a warm, inviting atmosphere in a singular setting.
