Marie Berrio: Flor (2013)

Posted by AT SUNNYSIDE - WHERE TRUTH AND BEAUTY MEET on
María Berrío (b.1982), Flor, signed Maria Berrio, titled, and dated 2013 (on the overlap), collage on canvas, 48 by 36 in., 121.9 by 91.4 cm., Executed in 2013, Image Source: Sotheby’s

“Flor is a paradigmatic example of María Berrío’s acclaimed practice. Emerging from a textured gold ground evocative of a Medieval icon or Viennese Secession masterpiece, the figure is built up of innumerable pieces of wafer-thin Japanese paper and washes of watercolor. Berrio’s work sees her filter memories of her childhood spent on a farm in Colombia through the frantic lens of her studio practice in New York City – as Adrian Horton observes “If Colombia is the id for Berrío’s Klimt-inspired, meditative pieces, New York is ‘the energy that gets it out, the force, the spirit’,” (Adrian Horton, “Like Magical Realism: María Berrío on her surreal collages,” The Guardian, 20 June 2020 (online))”

    I really love this artist’s work. Klimt used gold but Berrio’s colours do just as much! The layered composition is so representative of modern living! 💓🙋‍♂️

    I see in this painting the woman as an object.
