Técnica: Fragments of acrylic paint attached to canvas

Biografía del Artista: Angela CuadraMadrid, 1978---Angela CuadraÁngela Cuadra investigates images that deal with concealment techniques used throughout recent history, in a broad phenomenological study of invisibility. By examining the tensions between the natural and the artificial, the public and the private, the whole and the parts, the essential and the superfluous, the artist uses a material with pre-existing historical and semantic loads to reconvert and resignify it. Based on collage and approached from intuition, her works induce compositions in which the found material is barely elaborated, with the forms themselves taking center stage through their juxtaposition to other materials. The special focus on the dialogue between fragments, on the emotion that arises when finding chords of color, shape or texture, makes the perception of her work similar to that of a musical composition. Making language without literature, making music without melody, making painting without painting. Making by building from the base of what is given, from what is found on the margins. She has exhibited at the Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo (CA2M), Centro de Arte Joven, Centro Cultural Conde Duque and CentroCentro, in Madrid; Today Museum, in Beijing; Centro del Carmen, Valencia; SantAndreu Contemporani, Barcelona; Fundación Cultural de Providencia, Providencia (Chile); Fundación María José Jové, A Coruña; Centro Galegode Arte Contemporánea (CGAC), Santiago de Compostela; International Centre of Graphic Arts (MGLC), Ljubljana; Frans Masereel Centrum (FMC), Kasterlee (Belgium); International Print Triennial Society in Krakow (SMTG), Krakow; Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMSU), Rijeka (Croatia) and Foundation Tallinn Print Triennial (TPT), Tallinn.
