Fernando Castro Flórez, curator of José Cosme / Roma 2000, develops a critical reading of José Cosme’s work around abstraction, materiality, transcendence, presence and absence, the body, water, symbolic continuity and the limits of representation.
The essay establishes an early critical genealogy for concerns that remain central to Cosme’s later practice: matter and spirit, the visible and invisible, continuity and discontinuity, the finite and infinite, and art as a space of inquiry rather than mere representation.
