  • "Pablo Genovés " advances with a mastery of processes that seek to serve a significant transformative imagination."

    Elena Vozmediano, El CULTURAL de El Mundo.

  • "It is, perhaps, a representation of nature mercilessly arm-wrestling with culture."

    Ángeles García. EL PAIS Cultura

  • "Is renovation possible when catastrophe rises up before us as the natural and eternal state of things? In the images of Pablo Genovés, destruction transgresses the laws of time and establishes its own chronology. The symbols and fictions of our culture apparently succumb in the face of the irruption of the untameable: mechanical natures, monumental in their disproportion and now out of all control. But hiding behind this aggression is a secret pact of compromise. The pre-existing and its end are offered each aware of the other, in the warmth of a historical intimacy. In this Cronología del ruido, the spaces of representation - museums, theatres or churches - are revealed as enormous apparatuses of engineering: machines for the generation of myths which when cracked show their steel innards. In his images, Genovés locates our myths and values in an arc of time and he tenses them to their limit, up to the moment immediately prior to tearing, necessary for the percussion. Like the metal which, when struck, faithfully reproduces a noise of storm.”

  • “Desde el inicio de su andadura artística, Pablo Genovés ha perseguido la realización de imágenes capaces de conjugar una potencia visual impactante con el descrédito de la realidad que representan”.
    “Sus motivos primeros fueron la recuperación de cierta memoria sentimental ­ que en su evolución se ha desarrollado hasta una enmienda a la totalidad del recuerdo.”
    “De la instrumentalización de la memoria brota una representación del presente que, en su íntegra falsedad, desvela la realidad de los acontecimientos. Ahí radica la fortuna de esta exposición, Precipitados, que es la más completa que hasta la fecha ha realizado el artista.”

    Mariano Navarro, El Cultural de El Mundo.
