ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"Highlights of the week" makes part of an ongoing series of portraits on wood entitled "Units in Stock". These portraits represent women of different ethnic backgrounds and visceral, ambiguous beauty. The background for the portraits are pages taken from product sale catalogs, pasted onto the wood surface and then painted over. Popular ideas of consumerism come through the designs, shapes, and colors of these pages as well as the gaze of the anonymous women. The portraits are usually bought in groups of 3-10. This way, the individual faces of each women disappear to make room for a beautiful landscape of colors, shapes, flesh and facial features.

Rossina Bossio is a multi-disciplinary artist born in Bogotá, Colombia. She studied Visual Arts at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in her hometown and Fine Arts at L’École des Beaux-Arts in Rennes, France. Her work, which ranges from painting and drawing to video, has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei (MoCA), The Imperial City Art Museum (BAMOIC), in Beijing; the Grand Palais in Paris; the Tribeca Cinemas in New York; and the Saint Claire’s Church Museum in Bogotá, among others. "The work of Rossina Bossio is primarily the art of painting, its practice and execution, its playful and sensual aspects and all the reasonings that it involves. This is the reason why the women, objects and spaces she represents do not evoke a predetermined, literal or univocal sense. On the contrary, considerations such as chromatic subtlety, the delimitation of space, and the relationship of forms are key points for their appreciation." — Eduardo Serrano, Curator and Art historian.
