ADC Contemporary & Building Bridges International Art Exchange presents “MAR DE FONDO” by Argentinean artist Jorge Sarsale.

Mr. Sarsale graduated from the school of Architecture-UBA in 1978. He has made many solo as well as group exhibitions all over Buenos Aires, Spain and USA.

"MAR DE FONDO" is a metaphor in Spanish indicating a latent uneasiness.
All this body of work is generated around the installation ESO, installation selected by the International Jury as a first prize for the InternationalBuilding Bridges Open Call 2011.

Working with Buenos Aires' printed phone guides and exhibits them in LA, refers to the common destiny between the two cities, Buenos Aires and Los Angeles, both territories immigration and emigration.

“Sarsale's art is not an audacious art that yells loudly in your ear. Nor does it flaunt its intellect by restating the latest criti-cal discourse. These unassuming works subtly, slowly, and gently work their way into one's consciousness and invite the subliminal to take an active role. At first the message may seem bland like fine cuisine to senses dulled by fast food art and prepackaged ideas. But if you will allow yourself the time to recover your aesthetic senses and partake of Sarsale's carefully prepared cuisine, you will experience subtleties of feeling and thinking that nourish the mind as well as the eye.” -Karl F. Volkmar

“They immerse you in a soothing melody”; “anguish and peace after anguish”; “Zen…we need time to appreciate their wholeness”, “they communicate through their atmosphere and they intrigue you in their essence”. -Luis Felipe Noe
