Ana Garcia-Pineda

El rojo es el color de la sangre y de algunas manzanas

For her first solo exhibition in Palmadotze, Ana Garcia-Pineda presents a selection of works chosen for the specific context of Mas Pujó, the gallery's headquarters.The exhibition will consist of a selection of very direct drawings. We can also see different sculptures: some combining with helium balloons, drawing and stones and others made with everyday objects. The video projection will also be present. Works all of them that often incorporate the written language, origin of all her work, and that allow him an immediate communication with the spectator or interlocutor. To communicate is the main objective of Garcia-Pineda; Communicate, on the one hand, her particular ideas about how the world works and on the other the possible solutions to problems and struggles with which we find ourselves.

Thus, in the series of drawings "Balloons and Stones", reformulates the world's approach through two basic and opposing forces: gravity and float. In an attempt to explain things in a way, she manages to show the illogical logic that governs everyday reality, and unites two contradictory and complementary poles, where the naïf and innocent merge with the cruel. Also, in the video "The curve of forgetfulness" tells the story of his grandmother from a personal point of view to talk about memories and forgetfulness. Both works show their personal cosmogony built on their own experiences and literary, cinematographic or scientific references. On the other hand, in works such as "Machines and machinations," she insists on "saving the world" with a collection of inventions, proposals and remedies often impractical and only possible on the textual and theoretical plane.

In her own words, "I collect real stories and connect unexpected facts to build narratives that offer another perspective on the workings of things." I also propose poetic solutions (such as "Steel Machine Alzheimer's Only Affected Our Sad Memories") that only work (Such as "If they break promises, buy glue") that only make sense within the very mechanisms of language.I am interested in tackling our small dramas and daily tragedies using the irony and the sense of Humor, all of it, to create a space (even if it is intangible) where life seems a little easier, all quite utopian, a bit crazy but almost all the time seriously."
