The exhibition is conceived as a personal reflection of the artist herself, a projection of the psyche of today’s woman, crystallising desires, wishes and goals common to all, which she deals with in a metaphorical way, while denoting a show of affection for what she has already achieved from her vital perspective, all from aesthetic criteria, with a broad coherence and an absolutely contemporary sense of beauty which in turn respects the classical artistic canons. In its configuration, the work of Marifé Nuñez reflects the hegemony of the self, a compendium of visions in which critical thought and sudden idea are combined in a way that gives power to the voice of the human subconscious as a focus of wills, and leads to a common message about the evolution of the prototype of the current woman of our context, with which the author identifies herself: determined and curious and active. Visually, the exhibition consists of two installation pieces, a video-creation and a series of two-dimensional portraits (titled with the phrase that gives the project its name) made with mixed media. This series consists of female images enveloped in an acid and chimerical spectral halo that contains a great symbolic charge. The different birds that crown the women she portrays are symbols of facets that the artist wants to highlight. Strength, freedom or money, beauty, creativity or success, among others, are concepts that have been associated throughout history with the peacock, the hen or the flamingo. On the other hand, the large neon eye in these images reinforces this idea and takes it to a more transcendental, mystical level, alluding to the evolution of the human being to something superior, almost transhuman, which reinforces the link with the spectator and brings the image to life, as if in some way this effigy had the capacity to observe the observer. The protagonists of these images have a certain regal air as if they were Zurbarán’s “portrait of the divine”. They are normal women with attributes that lead them to become an exalted version of themselves. This series, of great presence in the exhibition, is undoubtedly a desire for survival and reaffirmation which is made manifest through the use of the portrait as an emblem of power charged with intention, as “they represent, in some way, warrior women, Napoleonic, of the period, with bearing and symbolism”, in the words of the author herself, but she does so by taking it to her own terrain. Plastically, this series is resolved by means of different languages. The use of photography, collage, painting or the installation of light manages to revise the genre in a brave way. A direct and reflexive art full of honesty and strength, which gives great importance to atmospheres, electrifying and artificial, fictitious, that recreate a dreamed, desirable and utopian world to inhabit today, between poetry and illusion.

What’s more, it springs to mind every time we put our feet on the ground, regardless of the generation to which we belong. But this realistic bath is not insignificant or recurrent, but rather denotes the certainty of a need for evasion, reminiscent of rhetorical reflective clichés on the finiteness of things. The instant, the fleeting and the transitory are manifested in this exhibition through the use of the concept of “frozen” which is based, in this case, on the capture of the photographic image or with the configuration of contemporary still lifes of memory that take us back to the vanitas. Álbum seems to speak of the instant and the fragment collected in a capsule and approaches it from two angles. Thus, the work of Chanivet (Puerto Real, Cádiz, 1964) is metaphysical, symbolic and complex. That of Sanguino (Seville, 1962) is realistic and disturbing, both charged with a personal and beautiful meaning that invites introspection and delight, and immerses us in a transcendental universe that from different languages allude to the expiration of the moment. In both cases, this valuable question is not ethereal because, behind it, this poetic vision becomes sensible, committed, political, as if in some way, these authors were taking the tempus fugit to post-truth, becoming fallacious communicators who, through the correct, the changeable and the fleeting, promote perspective and trust. If we observe carefully, we can distinguish the approaches that these authors launch through the elements that appear: on the one hand they are people, configured scenes that help to recall simple but pleasant moments, on the other, ideas based on things, elements that appear to be unconnected but that carry an eloquent intentionality through a display of forms, objects and fragments that appeal to the awakening of the different senses: spectacularity, frivolity and baroque thought. But the context is very different, because in a global and hyper-connected world the cognitive-rational gives way to the cognitive-emotional, and with it, they give strength to the symbols, which violently trap the yearning, super-informed and disheartened subjects, while they, oblivious to everything, embrace in a pertinent manner what they find in their surroundings and it comes to them in the key of verisimilitude, an aspect that, on the other hand, has always been alien to art. All in all, the exhibition is conceived as an existential positioning in which amusement and astonishment are two ways of escaping from the problems of truth. Thus, these two questions, which end up impregnating these images, serve as a reflection of a troubled and disillusioned era, but which becomes positivist through artistic creation, reflected with tinges of illusion, theatricality and paradoxical sense.

To slide sensorially through your own thoughts is a tenuous – or even comfortable – way of seeking an ephemeral, inconsistent and unreal well-being, but which is as necessary as it is effective to maintain the desired balance we all seek, and which, in this exhibition, also seems to become the first suggestive thought when the bulk of the works that compose it are contemplated in their totality. The painting carried out by Alba Cortés (Cáceres, 1991) for this project is especially visual and delicate at the same time. Full of nuances and intentionality, the artist presents in Rosewood, imaginary of remoteness a series of partial spatial visions whose presentation plays, on the one hand, with the points of view and the sizes to demonstrate that, in this case, it is she who indicates us in which form -and no other-, her landscapes should be seen, as if in some way, she were telling a spectator who wants to look something like: Yes, it is there, stand right there. And this “right there” is close to the protagonist object, because the view offered is a fragment, a landscape reduced to a segment of vegetation that seems photographed, very contrasted, suggestive and suggestive, which speaks of a vision of exoticism decontextualized, which seems to be conceived with a clear intention to increase the deception that in itself, This is because in his painting, realism undergoes a process of metamorphosis, which is produced through the evolution of the concept of imitation, which he achieves by resorting to an intelligent appeal to the ancient aesthetic concept of mimesis, but with a clear intention of showing that the spirit of the times has changed. His work emanates, therefore, sweetness and subjectivity, and invites us to dream of imagined places whose cerebral journey awakens sensory jolts such as a desert smell, a situational void, or a pleasant dry heat of the sunset -or sunrise- of a dreamed paradise, decontextualized, which seems to be seen through a sieved lens. In any case, these representations seem to refer us to an isolated place, perhaps to a non-place, because the light it presents does not allow the logical understanding of the passage of time, and that makes it a scenario of truce, between the distant and the unreal, as a continuity transmuted through a skillful gaze. In short, a painting that emanates insight and denotes the mood of perfection that has always accompanied this artist who, with this project, invites us to contemplate and think about the controlled appreciation of a sublimated nature, with an intention to give beauty to naturalism itself or to the decadent, either through the presentation of its vigorous vegetation in its wild state, or through its enveloping and emphatic skies.

Behind her images of melancholy, there is a latent revulsion that invites us to become aware of how today’s woman lives and shows herself – in developed societies -, empowered before the different spheres in which she develops, materialising each of her facets in a particular effigy that would act as a symbol or analogy. In line with this predominant definition, obiter dictum, the historical anecdote that surrounded Matisse surfaces in my memory when in 1095 he presented, to the amazement of many, the wonderful work Woman with a Hat, a portrait of Amalie Matisse, a strong and determined woman who worked as a hatter to support her family before glory came to the brilliant painter. Without the physiognomy of the portrait itself being a determining factor in the approach to the work, and following Mallarmé’s recommendation, Matisse painted his wife under his emblem of triumph, and that is, in essence, to give the painting a transforming capacity based on critical reasoning. Something similar occurs with the work of this artist. The metaphorical connotations that Carneiro gives to each one of his creations require the support of our intellectual faculties in order to exert a notable influence. She grants them an external perfection that strips the work of its metaphysical character and this is interesting because of the overwhelming reality it represents: women looking at women. With his work, Carneiro, he uses an imponderably beautiful figuration that highlights individual problems, through imaginary portraits that with their deep look challenge the viewer to imbue his psyche and empathize with the image beyond what he sees, and all this, he achieves through an extraordinary mastery of drawing and colour, which he uses on punched wood. Sometimes we do not need to resort to encrypted images to reveal deep contents that speak of the needs that women continue to demand. Emotive figuration is called to be the bearer of social and political potential in post-modernity, the era in which a fourth wave of feminism is in force, starting with the second decade of the 21st century. That is, the era in which we live.

Of Cordoba origin, Aurora Cid is a painter, sculptor and photographer with a very consolidated career in the art world. Her work is the result of an in-depth investigation of geometric form and the physical structures with which she plays and combines, giving rise to dynamic spaces that range from the sculptural to the architectural. Her search does not cease, as she herself quotes: “And I am at it. In search of every fold of paper, of every layer of cardboard, of every sheet of metal that is IN BOX TWO in my SOUL-CEN. I walk to retrace my steps and return to the beginning after having reached the end. The ultimate essence, the one I offer to the one who looks to find his own. The essence, naked, without clothes… like the poet. For Aurora Cid the use of colour becomes a main element that complements the work, giving it a depth that is achieved through the use of tonal gradation, a technique that she masters with great skill. Her works are developed with mixed technique on kraft cardboard that contrasts with the perfect shine of polyester resin. He has exhibited individually and collectively in countries such as Spain, Belgium, Germany and Italy. His work forms part of the Antonio Saura Foundation Museum, Jesús Bárcenas Collection, J.C. of Castilla la Mancha, various town councils of Ciudad Real and Córdoba, obtaining numerous prizes and mentions throughout his career.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1541588207726-2ae195fa-bcc8-0″ include=”7989,7988,7990,7991,7992,7993,7994,7995,7996,7997,7998,7999”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
