Tell Me What Red Is

“This exhibition brings together some of Roldan’s most recent works that allude to the possibility of creating a series of realities where poetry is the source of a utopian solution to contemporaneity. Within this logic, the materials she uses are fundamental keys to decode the narrative that the artist proposes. Using different media ranging from performance, sculpture or print, Roldan’s purpose is to create a particular universe in which all the elements are connected and at the same time related to ideas and concepts originated by cultural phenomena. Using notions originating in philosophical thought, for example from psychoanalysis, cultural studies, or from the production of other artists who constantly nourish her work, Ana Roldan questions the foundations of modern thought in which the natural and human worlds are separated by artificiality. Therefore, stones, bones, natural fibers, are combined with mirrors, acrylics and 3D prints in a game of ambivalences in which the wound between the artificial and the natural is healed. Each piece in this exhibition is a narrative exercise for the viewer to give a new meaning to the ways in which he observes his reality.
