BBA Gallery presents Digital Tenebrism, the first solo exhibition of the exceptional Spanish artist in Berlin. With his latest series of paintings, Digital Tenebrism (2020-now), Celdrán explores the Baroque tradition. The Tenebrists are known for their dramatic chiaroscuro painting. Instead of candlelight, however, Celdrán's paintings are illuminated only by mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, which the figures examine in the darkness of their domestic surroundings. Where silence permeates the unlit areas, the theatrical darkness in Digital Tenebrism leaves room for the viewer*s own imagination. In the artist's words, The darkness was no longer frightening to me. It becomes an intimate space for meditation and reflection.
