We have a pleasure in inviting you to the exhibition Painting with pedestal, drawings and waste by Arancha Goyeneche (Santander, 1967), a project with which the artist continues her reflection on the possibilities and conceptual openings of pictorial practice and, at the same time, enters unprecedented and surprising roads. The exhibition presents the last three series created by the artist.
The transgression of the lines that define the painting enclosed in its two-dimensional space is the basis of Goyeneche's creative process. In the Painting with pedestal series, the painting is released from the wall, expanding into the field of sculptural work. Located on wooden pedestals, the pieces open up to the innumerable number of perspectives, to the zenith or overhead point of view, escaping from the traditional frontal perspective. The lights and shadows are introduced in the recesses in the works, emphasizing its sculptural character and causing some confusion in its definition and classification.
"Lookin' out my window, sun shinin' bright Birds singing', tryin' to make things right I've got good music on my radio....All I can see is stormy weather... "
The song I wish you were here by Al Green lends title to the series of drawings Look at my Windows. The works arise conceptually from the intimate relationship of the artist with the landscape, understood as a vital experience, each drawing is an open window where the artist invites us to enter an imaginary, peaceful and playful world.
Waste is an important part of the creative process of Arancha Goyeneche, who has placed a set of vinyl scraps, leftover product of the works created for the exhibition, in a transparent urn, as if it were a jewel. The artist tries not to throw anything away, keeping all the material of disassembly and cutting. Many of these elements coexist next to her work table or cling to the walls waiting for a second chance.
Prior to the opening of Painting with pedestal, drawings and waste at the gallery, at 7:00 p.m. we invite you to La Rambleta (Bulevar Sur, esq. c/ Pío IX, Valencia), where we will tour the Oasis and Desert installation accompanied by the artist herself and by Blanca de la Torre, historian, curator and art critic, author of the catalog text of the winning project of the 6th Rambleta Production and Research Grant.
