JOSÉ MEDINA GALEOTE BRINGS HIS WORKOF ART RIGHT UNDER YOUR FEET

2CREATED BY JOSÉ MEDINA GALEOTE

José Medina Galeote is an artist who uses painting and other techniques
to reflect on the creative process. In his work he first establishes themes
sometimes stimulating, sometimes provoking, in which the roles of artist
and spectator are interchangeable. In his deep reflection on art in generaland on painting in particular, José Medina Galeote undertakes an opticalexperimentation building a particular aesthetic which distinguishes it,
both stylistically and in terms of the ideas it carries. Within his work there
are clear references to the minimal and conceptual art of the sixties as heraises the question of the very concept of representation reality.
In 2011 The Contemporary Art Centre of Málaga organized an exhibitionof his work and has also exhibited in many renowned exhibitions, notably
at the Centre Pompidou in Málaga. The collaboration of José Médina
Galeote and the design teams of Forbo Flooring Systems gave birth to anunique collection of flooring in which the artist’ creations are given a newdimension through the medium of flooring. By bringing his works of art
right under our feet, José Médina Galeote explores new perspectives onvarious textures, such as textile and vinyl flooring. Thanks to high definition
printing techniques, Forbo Flooring Systems can bring the creations ofJosé Médina Galeote to life on any floor.

340001F | tizia blanco 340002F | tizia oscuro 340000F | stripy man

A colourful and strange figure, posing very attentively in front of a mosaic with Andalusian reminiscences, clearly inspired by theAlhambra in Granada. This emblematic character of José Médina Galeote’s universe is quietly observing us and seems to be waiting forus to address him. In a way he is here to say welcome and introduce this unique collection.

This network of coloured lines simulates an almost intimate handwriting. The writing appears as a means of telling a story, which
everyone can explore and make their own.

on the creative role of the human being in their environment.

Scribble

340003T19 | dibujar 340033T19 | dibujar diapositivosWriting is a reoccurring theme and a constant in the José Médina Galeote collection. It is one of the most personal facets of being
human: it is our way of transferring ideas or thoughts and making them tangible. In this case, writing becomes drawing and vice versa;
in a kind of game where the borders are abolished.
