Alfonso Borragan

Alfonso Borragan is a multidisciplinary artist, born in Santander (Spain) who lives and works in London. He received a BA from St. Jordi University, Barcelona and an MFA from Slade School of Fine Arts, London.He has chosen the world of art as the channel which best allows him to express and develop his ideas.He is only interested in art which provides a vehicle for experience. He creates structures to be consumed, that are experiences in themselves, that seek to change in some way the perception of reality. He devises situations and artifacts that broaden perception experientially. His art exists on a symbiotic level, intrinsically connected  , an organic work that only comes to life through him and disappears with him. His creations are consumed by the experience of them but are expanded through oral transmission, the source of human growth, the communication of stories and memory. He experiments with the matrices of freedom that spark the magic, with the illusionism of the hidden, with play and alchemy, as he constantly reseeks the place where events take place: in the rituals of eating, in the paganism of the feast, the calm of the mountains, the movement of a river, among the tree-tops.
