ANA MANSO – MENSTRUUM
2024-03-11Led by a conscious being, who believes they can legitimately manipulate a series of techniques and subjects, we can understand the act of painting (by which we mean making a painting) as one of many processes of sedimentation in nature. However, what we might call a framed geochemical micro-event loses all its inherent relevance where the nature of painting emerges in the sensory phenomenon of sight. In this optical oxymoron (the painting), the settled surface is presented as inevitably diaphanous in its own opacity; the painting refuses to be
simultaneously object and image – ‘a painting is a magic stone,’ as Ana Manso once said.
