Next January the 26th the gallery Victor Lope Arte Contemporáneo will present the first exhibition of the artist Miss Van, showing more than twenty artworks, most of them unpublished.
“Flor de piel” it’s the result of the creativity that connects with the concerns of the classical romanticism, with the more self-conscious that goes behind a new perspective that explores through the feelings across the sublime… Intimate rhetoric, personal, seeking within the vast human feelings. Miss Van fleets through all this gathering to create her artworks. It is an exercise of courtship, with a high and constructive eroticism, capable of establish new and deep lines of dialogue.
Miss Van started wall-painting at the age of 20, in 1993, initiating the feminine movement in Street Art. Originating from Toulouse, France and having spent most of her artistic life in Barcelona, Spain. The artist has travelled the world painting her instantly recognizable women on the streets, as well as on canvas. In the pieces that are shown in the exhibition “Flor de piel”, we can verify the gentle evolution of its imaginary and the restatement of a formula, that, without disassociate of the past productions, adds depth that can only be obtained by the experience.
She has exhibited extensively for decades worldwide in Europe, USA and Asia. Artist’s recent pursuits have taken her to Los Angeles (MOCA - Museum of Contemporary Art), Miami, Spain (solo exhibition at MAC - Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga) and Brazil, which hallmarks a recent return to street art, after several years spent solely painting in the studio, charging her new works with increased depth, emotion and an elevated romantic darkness and delicacy. Her iconic sultry female characters reappear in sensual yet dark animal masks and evolving environments.
