Margit Ilika
Triptych, "Toothache"

circa 20th century

About the Item

A fine mixed media abstract expressionist triptych using recycled fashion magazine ads, gouache and paint by American artist Margit Ilika (20th/21st c). Ilika has been an active artist in Texas, as well as Mexico, earning her BFA from The University of Texas at Austin and an MFA from the Universidad de las Américas, A.C. She has been featured in over 29 one-woman shows, and her work can be found in hundreds of collections around the world. In her own words, she describes her work- “My activity as an artist is recycling images, finding images, creating new connotations for pictures, tapping into the collective subconscious. In using pictures that I find, printed pictures, often discarded (called “found” art) I am saying that I trust the universe to help me make what I call “Quantum Collage”. In quantum collage there is a time warp factor because really I think we remember images that way, by “that way” I mean juxtaposed, not spotlighted alone, but several images in the same frame. I also believe that mind images are often moving and not stagnant, and certainly dream quality. Collage is putting one thing (it can be images) next to another. It is so helpful that the Physicist Mr. Stephen Hawking wrote about a parallel universe and that particles can influence each other from a distance. If I were teaching collage I would say that particles influencing each other from a distance is a lot like easel painting, the viewers relationship with the painting is influenced by her previous relationship with the images seen. I am an easel painter. I use collage because it allows me to position together images, ideas, colors so as to multitask ideas, I consider images to be ideas, collage is a recycle of images as well as paper.” Each piece of this triptych is inscribed along the bottom border with the title “Toothache” with a reference “179 May” The third work also is inscribed in the artist’s hand “Penicillin Priscilla Victorious, no. 3 of the Toothache triptych, 179 May”. All are mixed media on paper, unsigned, housed under glass in a modern chrome frame. Dimensions: Each measure 17 in H x 22 in W, sight; 24.25 in H x 26.25 in W x 1 in D, framed. Ref: 7581
