Miguel David

Exhibition

The Railowsky Gallery presents Miguel David's work at Hybrid Art Fair, an artist whose work is deeply marked by his socio-cultural background and intense philosophical exploration.

His central artistic project stems from his reading of Plato's 'The Cave', from which he develops a constant debate between shadows and light. Shadows, which represent the unconscious according to Carl G. Jung's psychology, become the focus of a visual game where light harmonises with them. This profound thematic introversion is reinforced by his approach to El elogio de las sombras.

The artist's subjective gaze moves away from the purely figurative to immerse itself in a world of abstraction, populated by indecipherable figures that give way to the viewer's free interpretation.

Miguel David works rigorously with analogue photography, using black and white negatives. He enlarges his images in the laboratory on silver paper, a technique that emphasises the materiality and timelessness of his creative process.

About the exhibitor

FotoGalería Railowsky was inaugurated in Valencia in late 1985 by a trio of young idealists: Ignacio Paes, Pepe and Juan Pedro Font de Mora. The space was conceived as a bookshop and exhibition venue specialising exclusively in photography.
Alongside other contemporary galleries, Railowsky embarked on the long journey of educating art collectors so that photography would be considered an art form worthy of being enjoyed as such, according to Juan Pedro Font de Mora.
Throughout its history, the gallery has enabled the public to rediscover and discover prominent figures in the world of photography. In addition, its timely information on new publications has enabled a new way of understanding images, consolidating Railowsky as an essential reference point in the dissemination of the medium.
