Spanish artist hosts first solo show in Cyprus
The Edit Gallery’s next showcase is a solo exhibition by visual artist Alejandra Atarés. Between April 28 and May 19, Possible Answers to Nature will run at the Limassol gallery, presenting the Spanish artist’s latest work.
“By combining elements that are both real and envisioned,” say organisers, “Atarés intends to capture the beauty and complexity of the natural world and creates liminal places that can only be visited through her immersive depictions. Strikingly cinematic, Atarés’ works are vividly rendered in a prismatic palette of sharply contrasted and highly saturated hues.
“In her exhibition Possible Answers to Nature,” they add, “Atarés continues her exploration on nature and takes it one step further by combining the traditional and contemporary and presenting, for the first time, small-scale artworks depicting flower vases alongside her large-scale landscape designs. In this way, Atarés perfectly captures a diverse range of artworks where each piece highlights the amazing complexity and awe-inspiring beauty of nature. On the one hand, the artist portrays flower vases, that although contained and simple still remind us of the beauty of the world around us, and on the other she highlights the majestic and powerful beauty as well as the boldness of abundant, untamed nature.”
Through colourful paintings, the viewers are invited to engage with the beauty and complexity of the natural world and ponder upon their own relationship with nature. On the opening day of the exhibition, the artist will travel to Limassol from Berlin where she currently lives to attend the exhibition launch.
