Nuria Lago

El pasado 2 de marzo inauguré mi exposición individual "Abstracción irreversible" en "Apo´strophe Sala de Arte" en Vigo, comisariada por Elena Bangueses. Podreis visitarla hasta el día 24 de marzo.

"...el mito de la fragilidad y la pasividad femenina se ve rebatido por los gestos atrevidos y seguros de Nuria...El trabajo de Nuria funciona como un sistema con sus propias reglas y subsistemas, en los que la artista se permite explorar, llegando incluso a perder el control sobre la obra. A menudo puede pasar desapercibido, pero hay que destacar que técnicas como la empleada por Nuria Lago, se basan en acciones únicas e irreversibles. Las imágenes producidas están, en parte, bajo su control consciente, pero lo que hace que este tipo de abstracción sea tan única, es que no existe margen de error. La mente envía la mano hacia la superficie de la obra con poca deliberación, cuando la artista ve la marca en el papel, no hay nada que hacer al respecto. En este tipo de abstracción irreversible, el tiempo va solamente en una dirección, no hay vuelta atrás para hacer correcciones, y esto requiere una entrega absoluta".

On March 2, I opened my solo exhibition "Irreversible Abstraction" in "Apo'strophe Sala de Arte" in Vigo, curated by Elena Bangueses. You can visit it until the 24th of March.

"...The myth of feminine fragility and passivity is negated by Nurias` bold and confident gestures. Nuria has constructed a visual vocabulary borrowing aesthetics from abstraction and action painting as well as calligraphy but the message she is communicating seems to be a personal one. She puts herself in the center of her own frame physically and mentally and then almost obsessively acts in and out of that frame, until it becomes the backdrop to the registry of her activity rather than its container...At the same time, it is hard not to see the work as a system with its own rules and subsystems within which the artist allows herself to explore and explode. The choice of paper, conscious or not, as the base material seems inherited from the act of writing, which in its automatic form is also nothing else than the pouring of one´s internal experience onto a surface laid flat using a system of marks. The contrast between the heavy use of paint and the inherent nature of paper achieves out a tense fragility from what at first looks like a robust often even brutal visual language...The images she produces are partly under her conscious control but what makes this kind of abstraction so unique it's the non existing margins of error. The paint is picked from the pallet and the mind sends the hand out to meet the painting’s surface with little deliberation, and by the time the artist sees the mark on the paper there is nothing to be done about it. In this type of irreversible abstraction time can only go one way, no one can turn it back to make corrections, and this takes absolute commitment".
