Abstract
En todas las exposiciones, los ensamblajes en papel de Pradillo, como obras marcadamente pop, han provocado sensación por la viveza renovada en el nuevo soporte técnico, y por la modernidad estética que, casi medio siglo después de su ejecución, suponen aquellos ejercicios de adolescencia. Estos collages, ahora refrescados por lo digital, se datan en los años 1977-1980, y son anteriores a la efervescencia de la Movida madrileña. Por tanto resulta más que admirable cómo, con tan pocos años, pudo Pradillo convertirse en una especie de cronista de su generación. Mas entiendo que todavía estas precoces obras deben abrirse a la exploración del crítico, en busca de sus posibles mecanismos visuales. De ahí, de todo esto, se colige lo difícil que resulta, dada la simultaneidad de imágenes enfrentadas, el leer con sentido literario la mayoría de los collages que comentamos en este artículo.
Almost half a century after their execution, Pradillo’s assemblages on paper, as obvious Pop works, have caused a sensation in all exhibitions due to renewed liveliness in new technical support and the modern aesthetic. These collages from this adolescent years, now refreshed by digital technology, date back to 1977-1980, predating the effervescence of Madrid’s Movida. Therefore, it is more than admirable how, at such a young age, Pradillo was able to become a chronicler of his generation. However, I understand that these early works should still be open to exploration by critics, in search of their possible visual mechanisms. Considering all of the above as well as the simultaneity of opposing images, one can comprehend how difficult it is to read most of the collages featured in this article from a literary sense.
