Anthony Meier Fine Arts is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work
by San Francisco artist Rosana Castrillo Diaz. Exhibiting at the gallery
for the first time, Castrillo Diaz's work is defined by a precise yet
fluid hand and a sensitivity to the boundaries of visible space.
The exhibition will feature three bodies of work; drawings, a tape
sculpture and a three-dimensional cut paper work on the wall.
Castrillo Diaz's graphite on paper drawings of benign office supplies such
as rubber bands, envelopes, clips and notepaper shed new light on everyday
materials. The depth of surface achieved through placement and shading
reveals a deft hand and keen eye for balance.
These traits are also present in Castrillo Diaz's tape sculpture. Made of
clear tape looped into circles that are then inter-connected into larger
rounds and hung on the wall with pins, the piece is an investigation of
space that straddles the line of visibility. Depending on light and
vantage point, the work is at one moment luminous and clear while the next
it seems to vanish and melt into the wall.
Castrillo Diaz is able to create this same sublime blurring of visual line
in her acrylic white on white paper drawings. The content of the works,
geometric shapes drawn either in tight grids or floating loosely on the
page, disappear when viewed straight-on. In raking light they are
discovered anew.
A native of Spain, Castrillo Diaz received her MFA from Mills College in
2003, where she earned the Jay DeFeo Merit Award. She was a recipient of
the 2004 SECA Art award from the SFMOMA. EA tape installation commissioned
by the Berkeley Art Museum is currently on view in their main gallery; a
site-specific wall work will be unveiled at the UCSF Mission Bay campus in
April of this year.
