Description
This abstract artwork features a striking combination of colors and shapes. The dominant visual elements are the bold, sweeping gray lines that create a sense of movement and energy across the canvas. Interspersed within these lines are clusters of vibrant red text, which appear to be overlapping or interweaving with the gray forms. The overall composition has a dynamic, almost kinetic quality, suggesting a dialogue between the graphic, textual elements and the more gestural, painterly strokes. The subject matter appears to be a layering of language and visual abstraction, hinting at themes of communication, expression, and the interplay between text and image. The artist's technique combines elements of calligraphy, typography, and abstract expressionism, creating a visually striking and conceptually engaging work. This piece seems to explore the relationship between the verbal and the visual, inviting the viewer to consider how meaning and form can intersect in contemporary art. ...

Amalia Pica
B.1978, ArgentinianAmalia Pica’s practice, which includes sculpture, performance, installation, drawing and video, explores human communication, its failures and intimacy. Human modes of interaction, such as the desire to be understood and accepted, are central to her work. Pica uses found objects, like hair brushes, wine bottles and confetti, verbal and non-verbal linguistic tools, like texts and venn diagrams, out-dated means of communication, like shutter telegraphs and slide projectors.

In her performances, she explores the ways civic participation can become a mode of resistance to political oppression across time and cultures. ...
