About the Item

Laminariales XVIII, 2022 by Paola Davila From the series Bosque Cyanotype on 300 gr cotton paper Image size: 193 cm H x 38 cm W Signed by the artist Unique The title of each piece corresponds to the geographical coordinates of the place where the pieces were made. The last number indicates the number of waves the paper received. The piece is protected in an acid-free PH-neutral glassine paper envelope, archival quality. ------------------------------------- For several years the artist Paola Davila has generated various visual statements from photography. Beyond the self-imposed limits in thematic terms (the house, for example), this exercise has allowed him to articulate concerns and situate spaces: inside, outside, and the limits between one and the other. From there, with the landscape as support: as an extension of situations contained in intimacy or in the object, it has insisted on making its way within other thematic and media fields to different complexities of the idea of ​​also inhabiting the public and finding a voice own in the contemporary photographic narrative. Water is constant in the artist's visual investigation, for her water is no longer the stage in which the body's memory bursts, but rather the environment and protagonist, constant operator of the image, water reveals, unveils, performs. The landscape is recorded by direct contact with the paper and the sensitive emulsion, and in this case, organic matter and the vestige of living organisms inhabit it. That is, there is no representation, but rather its direct presence as part of the work. It is almost dramaturgy, a high-sounding discussion with the visual arts, the history of Landscaping is overturned.

  • Triptych Arcana 07, 08 and 09. Abstract color photograph
    By Monika Bravo
    Located in Miami Beach, FL
    Triptych Arcana 07, 08 and 09, 2023 by Monika Bravo From The Series Arcana Archival digital print Overall size: 24 in. H x 108 in. W Individual size: 24 in. H x 36 in. W "Arcana" stems as a series of unique studies for an upcoming commissioned glass/metal wall at the Interdisciplinary Engineering building at the University of Washington in Seattle. Whimsical elements in vibrant colors interact with geometric silhouettes, inspired by Oskar Schlemmer's Triad ballet and Josef Albers' pedagogical experiments from the Bauhaus era; they also incorporate historical engineering tools. ______________________ Bravo uses multiple treatments of the image, that the artist relates to a specific place, this correspondence between space and transformation has led her practice to focus on the analysis of the places where she lives physically and emotionally, as a result, the works dwell between the document and the anecdotal. Monika Bravo examines the notion of perception by questioning whether the world we live in, is but a mental construction; her artistic practice is used as a tool to decipher the laws that govern the world she lives in. Through this survey, she creates objects by incorporating still, moving, audio and interactive images to generate situations where she can materialize and communicate her emotional state. She wants to challenge the audience’s own perception of what they consider real by generating a platform where they are induced to connect by exploring, interacting, and at times by focusing on an object-place- scene for a duration of time in a manner that is both meditative and investigative. Monika Bravo is a multi-disciplinary artist born in Bogotá, Colombia, who lives and works in Miami. In 1982, Bravo left Bogotá, moving to Rome to study fashion design, which she continued in Paris at Esmod, before traveling to London to study photography. In 1994 she moved to New York. Her work has received acclaim including a 1999 New York Times review which called her piece Synchronicity (from a group exhibition at El Museo del Barrio) a "standout...small, beautifully blurry video images of boats plowing through New York Harbor..." Recent exhibitions: Rubin Museum, the power of intention, 56th Venice Biennale representing the Vatican City-State, at the Pavilion of the Holy See.
