Felicidad Moreno - Streamflow

PULPO GALLERY is pleased to announce Felicidad Moreno’s upcoming solo exhibition STREAMFLOW, on view from March 16 through April 16, 2022. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, March 26, 2022 from 5 pm to 8 pm. The artist Felicidad Moreno will be present. 

Streamflow – Instead of streaming water, Felicidad Moreno lets the paint flow over her canvases. The exhibtion FELICIDAD MORENO - STREAMFLOW features the most recent works by the outstanding Spanish artist (*1959, Spain). After numerous exhibitions at significant institutions in Spain, Moreno’s paintings are being shown in Germany for the first time. The solo show captures a floating world filled with movement and challenges the boundaries of painting by combining different techniques and engaging colors and forms within an abstract game.

Felicidad Moreno was artistically trained in Madrid. Her work focuses on abstraction based on color and matter and moves between geometry and gesture. She belongs to the generation of painters born around 1960 who began to show their works in the mid-eighties, a time when there was a revision of expressionist abstraction. In her pictorial language forms of intimate, feminine and “gender” resonance coexist with chromatic gestures, vegetal motifs and strict geometry, the latter often being of linear character, developed in knots or rhizomes, circular or spiral and understood as repetitive units.

"Geometry will find its plenitude in the luminous outbursts distilled by the circles and spirals of her works from the early 90's; a geometry that will increase in prominence, as seen in her series hipnÓptico presented at MUSAC in León in 2006. There, she transforms her own pictorial production into a simulacrum by using the digital image and the canvas support, translating her paintings into liquified forms and spirals of a kinetic character." - Loosely translated from “Bajo la piel/sobre el cielo“ by Rafel Doctor, 1997
