Nazarian / Curcio is pleased to present Siluetas Simultáneas, Maria A. Guzmán Capron’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. This new series expands Guzmán Capron’s ongoing exploration of identity as a site of multiplicity, focusing on the interplay between abstracted and recognizable figures constructed from richly patterned textiles.
For Siluetas Simultáneas, Guzmán Capron introduces a new formal structure in which abstracted figures function as anthropomorphic dressing screens. Historically, screens define and protect domestic space while suggesting the presence of a body behind them. Here, these forms wrap around and shield more legible figures, creating conditions in which concealment enables revelation. Partially veiled, the figures engage in moments of pleasure and rest, enabling states of guarded vulnerability while inviting the gaze of the viewers. Two large-scale suspended textiles in the central gallery extend this logic into the space, allowing viewers to experience their own moments of concealment and revealing, while echoing the forms within the works.
Opening Reception:
