On the Poetics in Dialogue of Manuel Martí Moreno and Pedro Rodríguez Garrido The exhibition Resonancias brings together the works of Manuel Martí Moreno (Valencia, 1979) and Pedro Rodríguez Garrido (Huelva, 1971) as part of the Diálogos program at Galería BAT Alberto Cornejo, active since 2016. In this edition, sculpture and painting are not presented as opposing languages, but as sensitive strategies that, rather than aiming to represent the world, propose another way of engaging with it—more evocative, more physical, slower, more attentive. The artists do not intend for us to decode a hidden message but rather to inhabit the temporality of the work freely, engaging with its unique rhythm and internal logic, allowing aesthetic emotion to unfold along unexpected paths.

Martí Moreno’s sculptural work opens up multiple interpretive pathways, though always from a shared perspective: a critical gaze on the human body and the face as a symbolic site of identity. This concern is expressed through a poetics of the fragment, crafted from industrial materials and repurposed objects (nuts, corrugated rods, wire mesh, fiberglass, polyester resin, among others) that evoke assembly, tension, and precariousness.
