Irene Grau (Valencia, 1986) proposes in this, her first solo exhibition in Ponce + Robles, a project of the signaling paths according to the type of routes, which are classified in red / yellow / green
depending on the distance. The exhibition transforms the gallery space into a territory where three geographical and temporal paths happen and are juxtaposed, each of them associated with a color: red (28-05 / 13-06), yellow (16-06 / 27- 06) and green (30- 06 / 17-06). The work is constructed from elements that are common to all chromatic steps: mural painting, painting on pieces of 10×15 cm. on wood-metal-stone, and photographs taken with the purpose of the signage in the context of the landscape. All these elements compose a spatial structure in the manner of a variation: three color stages are juxtaposed and expanding in space according to the experiences of those who observe an order in the chaos of a landscape.
