“[Andrea] has left the stretcher visible in some of the works in the exhibition, identifying it as the “skeleton of the work,” which holds everything together, carrying an emotional and personal weight that she imprints onto her work.”
“In Andrea Grau’s paintings, gesture becomes territory [...] The three artists explore the way emotions build their own invisible maps.”
“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.”
