“Together with Adrián Fernández we move through statues that are actually models of future sculptures. Props for ephemeral scenographies. Puzzles. Tool. Laboratory tests with the impossible mission of finding a formula that will stop time.”
– Iván de la Nuez

“Significantly, in Fernández MEMORIAS PENDIENTES views, the structures are never shown as we imagine the were meant to be seen by the public. Instead, we view them from behind, like inhabitants of a Potemkin village, and see only the elaborate skeletal structure, now rusting and rotting, that once held up the bold image that we are left to guess at.”

The post ROGER HUMBERT appeared first on Fabian & Claude Walter.

The luxuriant equatorial forests and voluptuous vegetation of Brazil and the cultural implications of plant genera and flowers are integral to the imagery of Luzia Simons’s (b. Quixadá, Ceariá, Brazil, 1953; lives and works in Berlin) art. In watercolors, paintings, photographs, and tapestries, the artist probes the impenetrable role that nature plays, employing pictorial techniques of her own devising to create poetic studies of forms and colors. Simons is a pioneer in the development of the scanogram—a media technique that combines elements of painting and photography. Arranging blossoms and leaves of a wide range of tulip cultivars on a high-resolution scanner, she produces imposing works that boast intense and brilliant colors and stupendous definition. Just as nature and culture are in constant transformation, identities never remain fixed: that is what Simons’s work illustrates to stunning effect.

The publication Traces presents a comprehensive survey of the artist’s oeuvre and an overview of her exhibitions of the past three decades. With essays by Tereza de Arruda, Chantal Colleu-Dumond, and Irina Hiebert Grun.
