Iconography looks at a major period (1990-2003) in Riera i Aragó’s long career and considers the principal motifs—planes, submarines, stelae, the Aral Sea, islands, etc.—that form the alphabet of his artistic idiom.
His work should be seen as an all-embracing account that is connected to the very different languages of astronomy, botany, mathematics and mysticism, amongst other spheres, and which offers the viewer the opportunity to enter a highly individual universe of tremendous lyricism in which reality and fiction no longer oppose each other.
