The industrial becomes organic; the functional, symbolic.
Giro de cabeza [Head Turn ]is a work composed of masses of color that cover the brushes from the artist’s studio. The paint, applied layer upon layer over several months, renders the shape of these objects inaccessible and cancels out their function—yet in doing so, it endows them with new narratives. The industrial becomes organic; the functional, symbolic.
The color masses spread across a board reminiscent of a painter’s palette—a palette that evokes the idea of the studio and the artist’s working process, but one with which painting is impossible, as each mass of color swallows its tools.
Through this piece, Mora explores the formal and symbolic potential of painting’s tools beyond their utilitarian role.
