Imanol Marrodán Bilbao 1964                                                                                                                                              An interdisciplinary creator and researcher, his work, among other activities, carries out critical work through different events related to art and contemporary thought as part of his personal creative project.The concept of the limit, inspired by the idea of the ancient Roman "limes" cited by Eugenio Trias as a metaphor for a civilised, rationally controlled knowledge, is the starting point for a concept of limit understood not as the end of something but as a device for the "beginning" of growth and evolution. This idea of the search and exploration of the unknown and of personal identity related to natural processes and rhythms is the central theme of Imanol Marrodán's work. The aim is to create an ever wider Atlas of meanings with different meanings. We propose the construction of a metalanguage that encompasses the different stages and experiences lived as mental structures formed metaphorically by Euclidean geometries and at the same time also by structures of fractal and intuitive organic thought. It is the very shaping process of an experience that shares a socio-political habitat in an industrial, materialistic, technological and artificial world, as opposed to a natural environment intimately linked to the laws of the universe, which we hardly know but which we still feel and intuit. He has exhibited in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Korea, Argentina, Chile, Switzerland and the United States. His work has been shown at international contemporary art fairs such as ARCO, VALENCIA ART, ARTE SANTANDER and DFOTO (Spain), ART COLOGNE and KUNST KÖLN (Germany), KIAF (Seoul, Korea), ArteBA (Buenos Aires, Argentina), BALELATINA (Basel, Switzerland)... etc...
