Menduina Schneider Art Gallery Presents Patricia Silva Ibañez "The Road to the Scar: From severed to healed bodies" Solo Show April 2021 Virtual Opening: April 3rd, 11 AM, via IG: @menduinaschneiderartgallery Live Instagram Stream Curatorial Text: Hurt, pain, loneliness, heaviness of the heart, despondency, betrayal, all these feelings that haunt us through our life and how we cope with them define who we are. Patricia Silva takes us inside our most painful moments. Moments when the fabric of our own very soul is in tatters. We become severed bodies and minds lost in a sea of despair. Life becomes a desert and we can’t even find the absurd of Camus. She is poignant and doesn’t save anything. As an artist she throws everything in her work, her darkness shines even if that sounds as an oxymoron, and we feel our own pain as we watch her work. And yet as we look with more detail we find healed bodies, stitches, gauze tape bandages, scars, etc.. Pain that becomes furrows in our existence, pain that shows where we were, pain that withers away through our resilience till becomes a memory within our new hope. Patricia Silva is not only an artist, she's a walking memory of times past.
