Galería Hilario Galguera Condesa is pleased to present the exhibition Saturday night by Mexican artist César Urrutia. Beyond formal experimentation, Saturday Night offers a visual meditation on the processes of transformation. Urrutia turns the canvas into a space where change is not only inevitable, but also desirable. The mixture of materials - oil, acrylic, fluorescent aerosol paints - results in vibrant surfaces that emanate a latent, almost electric energy. The exhibition will open on Thursday, July 3 at 18:00 h. and will remain on view during gallery hours until Saturday, August 16.

Saturday night is a body of work by César Urrutia that goes beyond the boundaries of the traditional landscape to enter a territory where nature and imagination intertwine in impossible scenarios. Icebergs, emblems of the polar cold, float towards tropical landscapes saturated with vibrant colors, creating festive yet unreal atmospheres where the improbable becomes a visual language full of strength and contradiction.

In these works, the contrast between the glacial and the warm, the dull and the luminous, transcends the aesthetic play to become a reflection on change, adaptation and the paradox of inhabiting a world where everything is mixed and redefined. Saturday night is also a statement against a present saturated with artificial stimuli, a pictorial space where oil, acrylic and fluorescent aerosol paints merge into bursts of light. Here, art does not decorate: it occupies, inhabits and transforms the space.

The fluorescent aerosol paints introduce a hidden code, secret layers that only emerge under certain conditions, inviting the viewer to discover new meanings with each glance. This play of appearances and revelations not only broadens the interpretative nuances of the work, but also reinforces the invitation to question our perceptions of our surroundings and to explore the beauty in contradiction. Each work thus becomes a sensorial and almost performative experience, evoking that fleeting instant before going out on a Saturday night, charged with expectations, anxiety and desire for absolute surrender to the moment.

The link with the Mexican landscape does not arise from nostalgia, but from a living connection, in permanent movement. In this pictorial universe, colour is not ornamental: it is resistance, energy and affirmation, because in the face of an environment that often invites withdrawal or resignation, the chromatic vitality of Saturday Night is a radical gesture of permanence and presence – an invitation not to disappear, but to continue to inhabit the world with intensity and wonder.

The exhibition will be open to the public from July 3 at the Galería Hilario Galguera Condesa, located next to the fountain in the central courtyard of the Mondrian and Andaz hotels, and on the walls of the second floor of the hotel complex, in the Condesa neighborhood, Mexico City.
