Luis Adelantado Valencia is pleased to present the exhibition Brillantes y pálidas. Brillantes y pálidas. Gigantes y enanas of the artist Regina Giménez.
The work of Regina constructs formalistic universes with planets of various sizes and colors, characteristic of the artist’s pictorial representation, as well as geometric landscapes that create parallels between the real and the imaginary. Close to the assumptions of the Avant-gardes, it often approaches playful languages linked to astrology and children’s illustrations from which it takes the iconography as visual support.
The exhibition brings together a selection of pieces from her constant research on abstraction, whose central axis will be a powerful installation of several large-format textiles that cross the central space of the two rooms occupied by the exhibition. The registration of geometric figures on the covers of books, cardboard or reusable papers make up the works, intermingling their most immediate references.
The title refers to the characteristics of the stars which temperature, brightness and size can be estimated from its color. The artist uses the Hertzsprung Russel diagram, which organizes the types of stars by brightness and temperature, giving rise to a diagonal or main sequence, and which Regina strips of intelligibility until it completely loses its reference, taking it to the field of contemporary art. Brillantes pálidas. Gigantes y enanas also refers to the scale and characteristics of the pieces that make up the entire exhibition, from the small studio sketches to the large canvases.
