2020
About the Item
In this triptych, Felipe Fredes explores how painting can show how people form a thought (left panel) and how time takes a toll on our memory of that thought (slowly fading from middle to right panel). What’s left is “everything is everything is nothing” (right panel). The now. A three-part act that can be viewed backwards, left-to-right, to recall memories and live in the present.
As a neroscientist and interdisciplinary artist, Fredes uses a scientific process called freeze fracture labeling, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to take images of the brain tissue at a subcellular scale. This resolution is 1,000 times greater than a light microscope and about 500,000 times greater than that of a human eye. The result is a crater-like abstraction that serves as the foundation of
"Instructions on how to disappear in three moments (pink)." This work is exceptional because it's one of the few in which the silver gelatin image of the brain is printed on a painted surface. Thus, Fredes first applied pink oil paint, then silver gelatin, and then more oil and then the rest. It took nearly a decade to master this type of technique, as his scientific research as a neuroscientist serves as the backdrop of many of his abstract paintings.

- Untitled II, 2019, Abstract Red Striped Oil on Panel PaintingLocated in Brooklyn, NYLucía Rodríguez Pérez, b. 1986, Santiago, Chile Lucía Rodríguez Pérez was born and raised in Santiago, Chile. She received her B.F.A. from the Universidad Católica de Chile in 2009, and her M.F.A. from the New York Academy of Art in 2016. Her work is encompassed primarily by paintings, but explores a range of media including works on paper, collage, sculpture, and videography. As described by her husband and artist collaborator, she is a “chromo-phile who prioritizes ambiguity.” Currently, her work explores the tension between abstraction and representation, and is informed by color as the first and last word. Rodríguez Pérez has shown internationally and widely in Colorado, including her debut solo exhibition in the United States at Alto Gallery in Denver (2022). Group exhibitions include Peep Space, Tarrytown, NY (2023); Sala Virtual CCU, Santiago, Chile (2022), Soft Times Gallery, San Francisco, CA (2022); RedLine, Denver, CO (2019); Light Grey Art Lab, Minneapolis, MN (2018); Flux Factory, New York, NY (2016); among others. She is the recipient of a merit scholarship at the New York Academy of Art, and has been awarded grants and residencies from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and Space 776 in New York. Her work has been featured by Project Gallery V, the Denver Art Museum, Mesa Gráfica, ArtAlLimite Newspaper, and more. In addition to Romi Studio...Category
