The resistance of language and the morphology of speech are two characteristics of the work of Teresa Solar Abboud (Madrid, 1985). Her work is based on a continuous search for multiple concepts presented as enormous sculptural installations that, in recent years, have become more complex through forms related to resistance, hollowness, the body and bone structure. The artist began using drawing and video as her fundamental work tools, but over time her production has come to focus on sculpture, exploring new materials with which she articulates forms that refer to elements related to the organic and lead to a world of metaphors that hint at the flow of currents, voids and the connectivity between orifices and gaps.
This solo exhibition of the work of Teresa Solar Abboud, showcases her production in recent years. Sueño máquina de pájaro (Bird Machine Dream), creates a dialogue between the fictional and the real, delving deeper into the narratives about the process, in which new forms and plastic surfaces alluding to the organic are juxtaposed, together with smooth and shiny industrial finishes. Combining recent and early works, sculpture will be reinforced by the inclusion of the practice of drawing, which will help to reflect upon and organize the perception and experience of the origins of each form, and other ideas that orbit them.
