In Red Hydrant in Rangoon, Venancio Martín González focuses his gaze on an everyday object that, through color and painterly texture, gains new expressive power. The hydrant, with its intense, worn-out red, becomes a vertical anchor amid a chaotic setting of fabric, cables, and urban debris. With loose, almost gestural brushwork, the artist transforms a functional element of the city into a symbol of resistance and solitude, highlighting the unnoticed beauty of small fragments of life in Rangoon.
