Maíra Senise: Pies y Manos

🌙🌹 "Sprinkled throughout this realm are Senise’s works, acting as portals into a universe of totems – from the moon to hearts within hearts, stars to spirals, each offering oblique views into a world waiting to be discovered. These totems construct a home that we yearn for, where memories, motifs, and fragments intertwine, creating new lifeworlds from found objects." - Xiaoxi Chen

Maíra Senise is a Brazilian artist who has been based in New York City since 2015. In her paintings and sculptures, Senise constructs an imaginary realm where disconcerting fables and everyday feminine ornaments converge. This creative endeavor disrupts the passivity inherent in a seemingly childlike universe by deviating from conventional forms, intertwining elements from both the human and animal kingdoms.

Embark on a journey of enchantment and introspection as we invite you to explore the mesmerizing world of Maíra Senise at the upcoming "Pies y Manos" Exhibition in Mexico City.

From Mar 16 to Apr 16, 2024.

Florencia Rothschild: To Become a Vessel

Step into the world of Florencia's artwork with us! Our featured artist describes her work as a fusion of sensory exploration, intellectual depth, and symbolic resonance. Join us as we explore the profound dialogue between body and material, unveiling the magic woven into each stroke and contour. 

"The physical contortions of the characters I illustrate are mirrored in that mud that is modeled and models us. "To Become a Vessel" [Volverse Vasija] is a homage to that ancestral object inherent to our experience, a utilitarian, symbolic object that contains a void inviting exploration. Like a bowl to rest in eternity but also as a receptacle of life, from where to offer oneself for what is to come." - Florencia Rothschild

Mariana Paniagua in Sweden: Every spoke like a fall

"Instead of positioning herself in front of a landscape to represent it, Mariana envisions herself as being within and traversed by it, reevaluating her own scale by subtly integrating herself as just another element, thereby setting aside the misleading perspective of a contemplative or omniscient eye. The artist reimagines how the world is seen: the grass, the texture of the mud, and the soil’s irregularity, from the gaze of an ant or the branching roots of a mushroom delving into deep, tiny corners. In doing so, she invites us to perceive ourselves as a small part of the entirety, rather than its focal point." - Kristell Henry (Islera Co-Founder)

Islera and NSWF presents Every spoke like a fall by Mariana Paniagua in Gothenburg, Sweden, as part of their second collaboration.

From Feb 29 to Mar 28, 2024.
