Cecilia Avendano

Galeria Sicart, Vilafranca del Penedes

“Blow”, it’s the name of the latest series produced by the visual artist Cecilia Avendaño in her first solo exhibition in Europe. Continuing the work developed from her series “Pride,” she presents us with a new proposal that includes a particular element that embeds a fantastical element to her work. As she did in “Pride,” she continues to work with digital images constructed from photographs, the superimposition of visual planes and the mixture of aesthetics elements that she develop for each one of her pieces, all of this finally decanting in the obsession for the construction of sense from the canceled image.

They are portraits of “girls-women-automata” that construct a sort of undefined being capable of exalting the spectator with a gesture of peevish veiled violence, we could sat that we are in presence of monsters with mythological traits, of sirens, monstrous sirens that enjoy a seductive and inaccessible beauty.

They are large format artworks printed in photographic paper, constructing a sort of bestiary, where the female load crossed with the chromatic and compositional exercise of each character, leads us to a hidden topic of gender, that we cannot separate from the systematic violence that underlines her work. They are beautiful females, complex, seductive and delusional, that disturb us and violate with their act, a powerful and bleak act.

Cecilia Avendaño, born in 1980 in Santiago, Chile. Graduated in Visual Arts with a mention in Photography from the Universidad de Chile, she has develop her artwork since 2002, participating in individual and collective shows in Chile and overseas, highlighting her individual exhibition in Sala Cero in Galeria Animal, her project “Pride” in Sala Plaza Vespucio of the MNBA, Universidad de Chile museum of contemporary art and overseas in the BAC festival in Barcelona, the Borges Cultural Center in Buenos Aires and in a variety of international Cotemporary Art Fairs.
