“Her canvases function as emotional landscapes that hold themselves at the edge of disappearance: layers of gestures, dense textures, and suspended colors that evoke vibrations more than forms.”
“The artist began to represent mental chaos and the chaos of the city in her works. […] You can see a strong influence of the sea, the colors, the clouds, the sky, and even the mountains of Lima.”
“In Garúa y ocaso, Andrea Grau’s canvases emerge as thresholds where matter expands and retracts, suggesting that painting ceases for a moment to be the space that fixes images in order to dramatize transformation. The mist becomes the atmosphere from which elusive forms arise — apparitions that dissolve the moment we try to name them.”
“This exhibition is structured around a fundamental tension: the one that exists between what the eye sees and what is truly there.”
“Andrea Grau transforms painting into a bodily gesture. Her calligraphic strokes, heirs to an expressionist tradition, reveal intimacy as a field of forces. Each canvas is a threshold where the solid dissolves into pure vibration.”
“Andrea Grau inscribes her body into painting as if each gesture were a language without translation. Her strokes expand like impossible calligraphies: signs that seem to want to fix a meaning and yet dissolve into pure vibration. The canvas is no longer a surface; it is a field of intensities, an archipelago of pulses.”
