Mar Ripoll

Statement

The artistic practice of Mar Ripoll (Mallorca, Spain, 1977) uses painting as her main means of expression. Through this discipline, the artist explores from a very intuitive pictorial technique -acrylic on resin- a series of themes that in her body of work, run amok. The use of resin between layers allows her a three-dimensional perspective, where the interior and the exterior are united in a single dimension to explore the very construction of the experience of human existence. Within an abstract visual language, his body of work is positioned on the current affective conditions of the world.

GlogauAIR Project

The artistic project that I wish to develop consists of an investigation on female power figures in the recent history of Berlin. This includes women and persons identified as such. The project seeks to explore, through painting, the sociopolitical and historical conditions of the construction of “woman” and “femininity” in the heteropatriarchal framework to subvert such relationships in the process of showing that there are many other ways in which femininity is expressed.

The research is accompanied by a critical review of the bibliography on feminist art theory and history and a review of the structures that perpetuate different types of violence.

That research will focus on a plastic experimentation in terms of colors, surfaces, tones and layers, seeking to produce deep dimensions on surfaces on and around the aforementioned themes.
