REALIDADES SUPERPUESTAS

Art is essentially an overlapping of layers: matter, meanings, perceptions. In this exhibition, Susana Anaya (1983, Morelos, Mexico) and Chus García-Fraile (1965, Madrid, Spain) create a dialogue, in which reality is fragmented, reconstructed and transformed through colour, light and form. Anaya transcends her nature, turning oil paint into a plastic material that defies two-dimensionality. Her impossible volumes emerge from the canvas as constructions that play with light and shadow, generating an ambiguous perception between the flat and the three-dimensional. Her work is an exploration of the plasticity of colour and the illusion of space, whose pictorial reality overlaps with physical reality. García-Fraile reinterprets the urban symbols and visual codes of contemporary society. Through light and message, her works decontextualise the day-to-day, creating new layers of meaning that force us to rethink our relationship with images and the environment. In her works, reality is presented as a cultural construction in constant transformation. ‘Realidades Superpuestas’ is a meeting point between these two visions. It is a territory in which painting expands, meaning is changed and perception is tested. Through their works, Anaya and García-Fraile invite us to participate in a play of perspectives, in an experience in which colour, form and sign coexist in constant tension, generating new realities that overlap and reinvent themselves in the viewer’s sight.
