Juan Dolhare: SPECULATIV

Charlotte, North Carolina – Latin American Contemporary Art (LaCa) Projects presents SPECULATIV, an exhibition of new work by Argentinian artist Juan Dolhare. This will be the artist’s third solo exhibition with the gallery.

Juan Dolhare creates systems that abandon the inherent nature of objects, rendering them adrift and void of meaning. Evoking a marked calmness, Dolhare’s careful precision resembles the exactness of a computer-generated image, honoring fractal patterns found in the natural environment. The insertion of perfectly straight lines and objects resembling contemporary functionality not found in nature offer a dichotomous dialogue to depict a surrealistic, fossilized world —one that strikes an almost-eerie sense of peace and balance. Further, the organization of these objects in ambiguous environments lead to a questioning of their meaning and their status as a sacred material good.
