EXHIBITION OF WORK BY MARIA APARICI AT THE ORFILA GALLERY FROM NOV. 14 TO DEC.
5, 2014
If one characteristic of expressionism is the
solidarity between the artist and her motive, this third exhibition by Maria
Aparici at the Orfila Gallery (earlier ones took place in 2004 and 2006),
highlights her evolution within this language, showing a progressive
disfiguration, without falling into abstraction, short-circuits data and
references with the intention to make expression prevail over information.
Maybe exactly because the latter is not able to get us out of our impassiveness
–an operation of rationalizing which who knows whether we still own it- the
“deletions” of women or animals in her paintings, her dances, appeal to this
encounter with the other person, as solidarity and as a protest, by way of our
capacity of empathy as the ultimate sign of tenderness.
Maria Aparici studies at the New School for Social Research in New
York (1988-1992), graduates in interior architecture, and at the Faculty of
Fine Arts of the Complutense University in Madrid, where she obtains a Master’s
degree in painting (1998). She has developed an ample exhibition activity in
various countries, where since 1998, she has shown her work at individual
exhibitions in Switzerland, Spain (at the galleries of Victoria Hidalgo, Ofelia
Aparici and Orfila in Madrid, Agurcho Iruretagoyena in Pamplona and AKKA in
Valencia) and The United States, whilst also participating in group exhibitions
at various New York galleries between 2000 and 2003, as well as in recent years
at others on an international level: Saatchi Gallery London (Showdown winner
2009 and 2013), “Art in Mind”, The Brick Lane Gallery London (2014), “Art &
Integration”, Palacio Gipsoteca Libero Andreotti, Pescia (Italy) in 2010,
“Apocalypse Now”, Mazia Frozen Gallery Berlin (2011), Colorida gallery Lisbon
(2011), The Lloyd Gill Gallery of Weston-Super-Mare (UK) in 2012.
She will personally inaugurate her exhibition on
Friday, Nov. 14th, 2014, at 19:30.
