Ana Garcés Kiley "Entre El Aliento Y Saliva"
Frederico Sève Gallery/latincollector
This event has ended.
With an acute sensitivity to texture and the inherent properties of materials, Garcés Kiley employs drawing, impasto and staining to render these vulnerable moments in airy, harmonious compositions. Painting on thin, translucent polyester she transgresses the usual practice of completely covering the supporting ground of a painting leaving large surface areas exposed, sparing any narrative that might distract the viewer from the intensity conveyed by the writhing bodies in space. Through superimposed images and layers in her paintings she suggestively blends natural or animal forms with human bodies. These transformations are part of the poetic representation of myths that since ancient times have owed much to written sources. Garcés Kiley culls her inspiration from the poetry of William Blake to the lyrics of Control Machete, amongst others.
