Mari Qui帽onero: What if?
Voltz Clarke Gallery is pleased to present WHAT IF?, the gallery鈥檚 first solo exhibition with Madrid based artist Mari Qui帽onero.
Qui帽onero鈥檚 recent, abstract paintings make up a body of work she developed for her inauguaral exhibition at Voltz Clarke, WHAT IF?. The title comes from Qui帽onero exploring the feeling of leaving her comfort zone and overcoming limitations to find growth. While working for the show, she struggled to find the perfect combinations of color, canvas and composition, so she resorted to asking herself 鈥� what if? 鈥� What if I try this color? What if I use this kind of canvas? What if I make this composition?
This body of work consists a series of greens, blues, warm nudes, berries and ochres. Qui帽onero works with color palettes that help her research how she visualizes emotions. Each color is attributed to a particular feeling or mood such as strength, madness, vulnerability, passion, struggle, pathos, greatness or wealth. The fullness of the meaning behind the colors layered with the emptiness of the background create a conversation between the contrasting elements. The soft, dry texture of the canvas is a clean and vast support that welcomes the shapes and colors that come from the artist鈥檚 mind. Through her investigation of palette and the emotion it pairs with, Qui帽onero has come up with her most personal work so far.
