materials.
Mónica Capucho also thinks about
the work as an object that functions as a
structural part of a whole, not dismissing its
singular value. The painting-installation
becomes physically active: the artist explores
properties of the work in space, analysing
weight, stability and density. The works in
pure geometrical shapes, expand
themselves through the gallery, either
isolated, as is the case of some installations,
or being part of a whole.
Being a “site specific” exhibition, it is in the
space where the woks are displayed and
through the relations created among them
and each installation, that a dialogue is
established with the architectural lines of the
two rooms.
The demand on the observer of the physical
property of the object, namely the scale and
the presence, makes him play a crucial part,
along with the importance of the work and
the space. The option for the almost
monochromatism also gives the display that
immersive density. The use of a predominant
colour dematerializes the work, creating
more permeability in its relation with the
display space. the pigment IKB, becoming a
chemist in a laboratory, the artist directs her
work towards the analysis almost laboratorial
of the perception of colour, of the materials
and the forms in articulation with the viewer
and the space, covering this display in a
whole work with a corporeal and sensitive
dimension.
