This is a text talking about an Argentine painter from the 90s who dealt with Indigenous and Christian themes
En Centoira presentó su serie Te estoy buscando América, una búsqueda en imágenes de una identidad confundida, con cierto arrepentimiento del "todo vale" que le dejaron los años 80, y esa conformación barroca que el artista encontró para darle tono a su idea de espíritu compartido entre un pasado indígena, colonial y republicano. La pintura como modo de redención o de arrepentimiento toma formato de salón, las telas de temáticas religiosas mantienen un tamaño que contrasta con el tratamiento intimista de la pintura ingenua-costumbrista-regionalista, categoría que no lo satisface tanto
Salon format seems to refer to a size (apparently large), but that term does not seem to be used in English. "large-format paintings" seems too vague. Thanks!

Maybe, as in "descriptive art".

As suggested in my note, this seems feasible - the way the paintings are exhibited

No en un gran espacio
Pero
mantienen un tamaño que contrasta con el tratamiento intimista de la pintura ingenua-costumbrista-regionalista
Hace pensar que las intimistas sean las pequeñas y las otras las grandes

Once again, it really helps if you tell us who the artist is. I can't see any reason to disguise their identity and make us work it out for ourselves.
