Exhibition at the Fast Cool- Gallery Madrid
C/ Costanilla de los Desamparados 6
April 15th – June 25th 2009
In this exhibition a group of paintings, such as the series “Protect me”, “Ladies and Gentlemen”, “Confabulations” come together. We can see new works in the series Bowls Athenea, in which we can observe busts of women with two animal heads that fuse together in their hair. These animals represent consciousness, and reflect , in an internal and spontaneous way, kindness and evilness as part of a whole. These figures represent Ateneas o Minervas, goddess of justice and wisdom.
They have been placed inside bowls, objects that have been used since immemorial ancient times to deposit food. It’s shape can be analyzed from two different perspectives; concave or convex, two opposite sides that have to live together in the same object, as good and evil coexist in human beings since his origins.
