VENUS
"Ode to liberation and the flow of thefertility of each one, whether living or inert"
This one you are going to see is mine.
It could not have been made of flesh, but of art.
“What is hidden comes to light”
Painting that takes as a canvas a mannequin in which
The artist expresses his declaration of intentions:
Show from the depths his hidden work.
VENUS
It is the exhibition debut and the gateway that will lead to showing
the complete works of
Marta del Rio
which he considers,
such as fertility.
“My offspring is
the one you are going to see, my legacy.”
Earthly dimension
The representation of blood
that expels the egg has
a meaning associated with life and the desire for immortal transcendence.
Menstruation is precisely
the ability to be fertile although
when manifested externally,
It is a sign and indicates that a new being has not been conceived.
Divine dimension
The golden chromaticity surrounding the outline of the red pigment
symbolizes its sacred character,
since VENUS as a goddess
of fertility, grants capacity
to have offspring as
legacy in this world.
The hidden comes to light
The basis of female fertility
It is the ovum, which is hidden
inside the body,
comes to light through
This natural process
and in their similarity,
the artist's hidden work will also come out to be seen.
It is not common for the image of menstruation to be shown
as a work of art to symbolize a concept,
Because this topic is hidden in the feminine reality and in the artistic spheres.
MR has tried to represent her
with the maximum delicacy, dignity and respect because we all come from it,
or rather the absence of it after conception,
in which the union of two parts triggers the miracle
of the creation of a new living being.
For this reason, MR appeals to the recognition of the lineage of continuation
created from within us even though it is inert
because the artistic or other works of human beings,
They are also its continuity and
They transmit the genes and personality of their author,
doing in some way,
that they remain alive after death.
The collector who acquires his work
represents the other half of it,
because he identifies with it and makes it his own.
