Ductile Bodies (Exercise 02), 130x152cm, acrylic on canvas Ductile Bodies (Exercise 02) belongs to a series of aesthetic inquiries that began in lockdown last spring. Elaborating on the ductile properties of objects as they are elongated, stretched and folded, as a play between body and material, Exercise 02 aims to oppose the complex stages of design of an art object with its assembled form. Recalling the bodily contraptions of Louise Bourgeois and Sarah Lucas produced in the 1990s, and originally hung like a domestic altarpiece, the work asks: How can painting inhabit the space of sculpture, and even become it? What affections and sensual connections are formed when we experience painting as a domestic object? Another current inquiry of the artist is the refraction of light, as varying degrees of granularity and opacity of acrylic orchestrate the direction of lightfall on the canvas sheet. The exercises in the Ductile Bodies series aim to synthesize, balance, and redirect our associations to bodily materiality and sexual difference arising from the enigmatic familiarity of form.
