Javier Erre is a visual artist and painter who explores a figurative narrative strongly influenced by photography and digital media. He relates memory and personal recollections to the present through the use of distortion, a kind of trope that redefines the images he works with, generally from family albums. His current project, centered on the concept of family, memories, and the construction of memory, attempts to give a visual appearance to the constructive and destructive behavior of memory—sometimes delicate and playful, other times harsh and painful. In the same way that memory operates, the image is erased, isolated, repeated, interpreted, distorted, and so on. He attempts to make present the fact that the past constitutes us in the present, even (or even more so) if we are unaware of it. And making it present can allow us to enjoy it or heal it, if necessary.
