Alicia Torres' practice focuses on painting, specifically, solving questions of a spatial nature, installation and New Materialism. The work experiments with the forms of plastic, developing a practice that shapes the flow of water and rust. This production resolves a surface that gets corroded with gold and resin in a liquid mixture that permeates its translucent blue and green textures. The formal wrinkles uncover the organic plastic of 3D painting, which converges in the space between its end and its fold. The gold twists immersed in the river blue that forms a language of liquid light. The work looks to expand itself and be shaped to generate a dialogue with the spectator and the space.

 

Alicia states that "...the plasticity of the material makes possible that the works can be folded, rolled, wrinkle, and so on, that results on the installation of the painting in the space. I work with the painting of the “dis”-painting, the rupture of the frame, the expanded field and the spatial painting. As it has been said, the pieces are adaptable to any kind of environment, either the natural or the white cube space of an exhibition, for that reason its function is to converge and dialogue with the space and the spectator."
