Abstract

The main characteristic observed in the mature production of Pedro José Pradillo, reflected in the 2019 exhibition in Guadalajara, regardless of his constructivist periods, is his fidelity to conceptual art; also the deep analysis that deals with the meaning of art - in particular that elaborated in the twentieth century - and the role of culture in Western society. His interest, as in any other artist of that movement, focuses on achieving images and objects for fascination from the combination of elements found that, beyond the particular aesthetic resulting, raise unwanted concerns in the viewer and cause He reasons for reflection. His assemblages place him, at the same time, within the current of object art.
