Arrangement of Shadows by Monica Curiel, 2022

About the Item

The Checkered Collection: In this series of works, Curiel creates varying compositions that use repetition of shape and color. Much like many of Curiel works, the emphasis in these pieces lies in her visceral process. She refers to this process as “a domino effect”, explaining how, “the placement of a square, or the color in which I paint a square effects how the next one is painted or placed. Inevitably creating a domino effect where one action directly affects the other.” She further explains, “making each work required a sort of push and pull, I had to let go of the control to dictate texture and color in order to see what beauty could form organically. In doing so, a rhythm naturally came about as I continue to work on each piece” . Mixed media on panel, 2022. Sold as a pair. All original works, such as this, come with a Certificate of Authenticity when purchased. Monica Curiel creates paintings that embody the act of painting. Often sculptural, her work is the result of an intuitive, visceral process that is never pre-planned. Each panel is like a map of creativity in motion, defined by a monochromatic language of rich textures and layers of abstract marks. Born in Texas to immigrant parents from Jalisco who made their living as labor workers, Curiel spent her formative years assisting them on job sites, where she was introduced to construction materials like plaster, house paint, and grouting tools. Now, these materials form the basis of her palette, drawing the artist back to her cultural roots with each sweep of the trowel. Plaster is humble but it is also magical, capable of being manipulated into any form. Though contemporary in nature, every Monica Curiel work is, at its core, a celebration of her Mexican heritage and every sacrifice made in pursuit of a better life.
