No exprimir (Do not wring) Painting

This artwork was made in the year 2013, as a part of an ongoing multidisciplinary series entitled "Extraña Correspondencia" - Strange Correspondence. In this series I explore the relationship between human beings and chaos, and the metaphors that such relation may symbolize. In the paintings I insert female subjects in chaotic, urban-like and slightly surrealistic scenarios. I explore the limits of the painting surface when cutting out, re-copying and reorganizing the space and the objects, often alternating between abstraction and figurativism, eliminating third grounds, saving fragments of preliminary layers or leaving a generous blank area on the canvas. "Do Not Wring" depicts an Asian woman in military attire that appears to be in a laundry room. The brush strokes are loose and the lady is partially painted to make the background visible. All the underwear hangs on the window security bars. The line where more clothes hang floats across the room and the white canvas, adding yet another dimension to the painting.
