An oversized pen cap dissolves into a pixelated rendition of itself. Within the same gallery space, a giant satiny glove shows off enormous life-like empty fingers with a sheen that attracts the eye to the wall-mounted installation. Imagined and executed by Madrid-based artist, Rómulo Cedran, the artworks entitled HI-RES, are divided into three distinct categories: Solid, Voxel, and Mesh. The show consists of sculpture and painting, created to look like computer-generated recreations.
The goal of HI-RES for Cedran is to emphasize the artist’s undying preoccupation with the ever-evolving and limitless possibilities of the 3D virtual world. As the artist explains, its the 3D world’s “capacity and plasticity as a valid reference for pictorial and sculptural creation.”

Cedran says that the artworks on display are representative of “different modes of visualization of 3D models in the use of the programs that manage them. These modes go from more or less accurate visual register of what we identify as the ‘real’ appearance of the object, as in solid, to the virtual interpretations that are furthest from this appearance and enter into the terrain of image-processing and constructions through voxels (cubic pixels) or polygon, as in Mesh.”
The artist is currently exhibiting a solo booth at SCOPE Art Show in Basel, Switzerland.
