Leonor Rigau has for over 50 years been one of the few women continuously present in the Argentine contemporary art world. Her paintings show the transgression, mutilation and tearing open of the human body and nature.
Through numerous individual and group exhibitions, Leonor Rigau’s oeuvre is renowned mainly because of works that are associated with neo-expressionism, presented in pictorial series, containing statements that deal mostly with themes linked to the individual’s identity and its interaction with the existing environment.
“Light and colour in the work of Leonor Rigau” at the MPBA, Franklin Rawson Museum, reinstalls the modes in which the artist has worked on her creations of concise aesthetic factors. Through the built journey a tale unfolds about the unity of the drifts (derives), whose completion is reached in the legacy of the painters future, an alternative to the organization of the palette that incorporates the contrasts of cesia, in addition to the traditional spectral opposite.
The exhibition, curated by Lucas Carrieri, presents a selection of works ranging from the Sixties to the present days, passing by a common thread: the light, the color and its infinite shades.
