Marine Lover: Snakes and Metal
This exhibition shows the transformative power of materials in art. The curator Àngels Miralda was inspired by the natural forces of plants, matter, and water, and how these materials oscillate from solid to liquid. Works of art also move through liquid states before taking their final form. In the process of making there is a moment before a finished artwork appears when fundamental matter takes shape, for instance the solidification of wax or the flow of watercolor. Pigment swims through paper fibers before the water evaporates. Even oil paint dries on the studio wall before it is definitively finished.
