Alicia Torres. Valencia, 1993
The pieces that I work are based on the painting, solving questions of a spatial nature and installation. The work investigates the chemical reaction produced by the mixture of gold leaf and acrylic resin, resulting in works that are characterised by their transparency, malleability, blue and green tones,… Therefore it allows us to vary their shape to adapt them to the space or medium where they are, it can be in the exhibition space, the studio or the natural environment. I work from the painting of the “dis”-painting, the rupture of the frame, the expanded field, the spatial painting, the dialogue generated between piece, space and spectator,... Installation painting.
La obra que trabajo parte de una base pictórica en la que se resuelven cuestiones de índole espacial y de instalación. El trabajo indaga en la reacción química que produce la mezcla de pan de oro y resina acrílica, dando como resultado unas obras que se caracterizan por su transparencia, maleabilidad, tonos azules y verdes,... Y por ello nos permite variar su forma para adaptarse al espacio o medio donde se encuentren, ya sea la sala de exposiciones, el estudio o el medio natural. Trabajo desde el pintar de la "despintura", la ruptura del marco/ bastidor, el campo expandido, la pintura espacial, el diálogo generado entre obra, espacio y espectador,... Pintura instalativa.
