This two-sided volume offers an immersive look into Juan Araujo’s artistic practice, functioning both as a record of his exhibition at Palazzo Massimo and a monograph on his recent key works. Far more than a catalogue, it reflects his ongoing dialogue with art history, architecture, and cultural memory - exploring how images endure, evolve, and gain meaning over time. Featuring essays by Inês Grosso, Giulio Figarolo di Gropello, Luis Pérez-Oramas and Stéphane Verger, along with a conversation between Araujo and Bárbara Rodríguez Muñoz, the book examines his process of appropriation and reinterpretation. Richly illustrated, it highlights his ability to bridge past and present, revealing the layers of time embedded in visual culture. From Hellenistic art to Cy Twombly, Araujo’s work traces historical echoes in contemporary language. His paintings reanimate artistic traditions, becoming a means of recontextualising cultural memory. The book’s structure mirrors this approach—a dialogue between opposites, where the visible and invisible, material and immaterial, continuously meet.
