Under the thought-provoking and ironic title "I set up a circus and the dwarfs are growing", the artist Pablo Alonso Herraiz, Málaga, unfolds a highly interesting production, explicitly arranged for the Gallery Javier Marín, a production where the artist parodies himself   and the surrounding world, using his complete repertoire, rich of harmonically mixed styles.

The exposition, structured in 2 parts, consists of 25 works from paintings to drawings. The first part, displayed in the entrance room of the gallery (upper part), is composed of 5 oil paintings on large-sized canvas, 300 x 200 cm, installed like big tops, whose subject, as the title indicates, is the universe of the dwarfs, dwarfs turning into giants, metaphors, hyperboles and developments the artist uses to explain the possibility of an inner growth of mankind, the human who is growing, like Herraiz says in the text of the exposition, in a permanent cinematic search for the truth. Pablo Alonso Herraiz defines his project as a holy roaring laughter, transcendental clownery, joking and transformation of the profane space into holy, the sublime and the grotesque. In this part of the exhibition, the artist also presents fourteen paintings of small size whose subjects are portraits of dwarfs, psychological portraits and the autobiographical fiction.

The second part of the exposition, installed at the ground floor consists of five large-sized drawings, 150 x 300 cm, created with black marker on plastic cloth, subjects of these works are the parody of himself and the view of the world. To achieve this, the artist uses an acid topic, presenting an enormous mouth of which hundreds of dwarfs are appearing like caries; the human body, laughter and the life, interpreted from an ironic-tragical perspective. Other drawings show the artist himself smiling, with dwarfs leaving his mouth like going for a walk. The style of this production, following the definition of the artist, is a parodic-plastical illustration, with allusions to the world of comic.
