The title of the piece, Crypt, could be due to the “crypt” that the author of the poem refers to, the place where heretics were burned to death (sixth circle of Hell). Although we have allowed ourselves to go a little bit further and think of Crypt in the cryptic sense of a work of contemporary art or perhaps as related to cryptocurrency, due to how intangible and indefinite this form of money can be for many. All definitions can be possible in this sculpture by the young and talented Tucker. The question about the title was sent as a query via Instagram to the art gallery, but until now we have not received a response. 

Inferno is the group exhibition currently on display, as we said, at the Unit Gallery and brings together fifteen artists who reinterpreted the nine circles of Hell in different media. As a result, the visitor lives a visceral experience in which contemporary art revives this 14th century poem.

Mehretu, born in Ethiopia but exiled to the USA since she was a child, works on large canvases in which a meticulous latticework is found beneath the abstraction. Drawing is suggested as fundamental in her practice due to the detail that is seen when we approach the paintings: this area, below the nervous lines, is so interesting that our eyes do not stop traveling through it. 

It is assumed that the works have a political content, related to revolts and constant social change but, as observers, where our eye only sees and our imagination is what gives shape to what we see, we relate her works in black and white with the thoroughness of ancient Japanese artists and the color ones with an amusement park seen from the height of a drone.
