Good Vibrations
Posted on October 25th, 2011
The focus of this installation was about the relationship between space and energy. Comfort and tension. I painted a black and white pattern on a large piece that hung on the outside of the space. This same pattern was photographed and made into wallpaper that was plastered on the walls of the passageway/maze. The passageway was a space for the viewer to travel through and connect with the work.
The work was exhibited at the Wynwood Art Fair for Carol Jazzar Gallery.

IN-BETWEEN
Posted on April 22nd, 2011
Narwhal Art Projects presents IN-BETWEEN a solo exhibition by Alvaro Ilizarbe / Freegums. For this show Alvaro is exploring space, patterns, and the energy that lies in-between. He has painted black and white patterns on amorphous wooden pieces which hang on an identically patterned wallpaper. The wood paintings’ swirling lines blend seamlessly into the background, becoming one. Contrasting line work creates a visual vibration and a tension within the space. Through this, Alvaro is revealing the awareness of spatial energy that lies between oneself and the object.

FREE SIZE / Thailand
Posted on April 23rd, 2010
To produce the exhibition “free size” artists Alvaro Ilizarbe, Jen Stark, Juan Angel Chavez, and P7 will work for one week in the Sinudom Silk Screen factory creating works of art.
By bringing these contemporary artists into a global manufacturing hub, the realms of production and creation will exist in a simultaneous space, transforming this modest factory into an active generator of creative capital. “free size” encourages viewers to see industrial spaces as incubators for creative thought and social evolution.

Posted on November 22nd, 2009
“In the spirit of the miniature art fair, we invited the artists to submit works that are true to their individual style, however scaled down in size (approx. 9″ x 12″ and smaller). And like all art fairs, as works sell new works by the same artist will be re-hung.”

Abracadabra
Posted on August 22nd, 2009
This show explores the magical and often devilry world of dieties. For the exhibition, Alvaro Ilizarbe has painted large wooden masks that depict the realm of the gods and the supernatural. The characters represented are gods that live among us and have influence over things that happen in the present. These immortal deities have personalities and possess desires, and emotions similar to those of humans. The imagery, both enchanting and disturbing, is painted with finely tuned lines in black & white.
