Beatriz Guzman Catena
The Light of the Night that Never Comes

2024

About the Item

The basis of Beatriz's painted scenes is an exploration of the construction of reality. She represents this by analyzing all the things that are contained in a given space — and what links them. In her eyes, narrative sequences are thus born or constructed, connected to each other by spontaneous links. Beatriz views her painted works as collages that she has pieced together to rebuild an everyday scene from her life. What has survived in her memory is ranked, and categorized. Maps, blueprints, cartography; any visual reference from the real world are the basis of her preliminary notes and sketches. That being said, she deliberately introduces a sense of doubt about the events of a scene, replacing, for example, a character with an allusion. Beatriz also works with the notion of instability, visiting the past and representing its uncertainty through new interpretations. About this piece she says "A summer day on a beautiful island in Finland. Facing the sea, sisters share their stories under a light that lasts nearly 20 hours; bright and hopeful sisterhood." Beatriz Guzman Catena was born in Argentina in 1974. She lives and works in Paris.
