Modernidad y desigualdad social, grandes riquezas y las dificultades de la vida: más de 200 artistas mexicanos reproducen la visión de un país y su creatividad en los lienzos de Imago Mundi. Una pluralidad de miradas que, en conjunto, revelan innovación, vitalidad y revuelta, y que proyectan destellos positivos para el futuro de la cultura expresiva mexicana, que desde hace años se ha convertido en un referente del arte contemporáneo gracias al dinamismo de sus artistas, coleccionistas, fundaciones privadas y museos. Ecos visuales contemporáneos que trazan un mapeo fiel de la escena mexicana actual, reflejando, en términos metafóricos o alusivos, la violencia que caracteriza la realidad del país, ante la cual el arte —como siempre— contrapone con vigor la belleza.

Modernity and social imbalance, great riches and the difficulties of life: more than 200 Mexican artists reproduce the vision of a country and its creativity on the Imago Mundi canvasses. A plurality of viewpoints which, together, show innovation, vitality and revolt, and which bring positive glimmers for the future of Mexican expressive culture, for some years now a reference point for contemporary art thanks to the dynamism of its artists, collectors, private foundations and museums. Contemporary visual echoes that describe a reliable mapping of the contemporary Mexican scene, reflecting, in metaphorical or allusive terms, the violence that characterizes the current reality of the country, to which art – as always – vigorously juxtaposes beauty.
