Lulu is proud to present a three-person exhibition of three
Mexican artists Lorena Ancona, Christian Camacho and Lucía Vidales.
Working in a pictorial mode, these three artists are interested
in questions of nature, what is natural or what is natural to painting.
Mexican, Oaxaca-based artist Lorena Ancona’s
ceramic objects, which have developed out of a painting practice, assume fluid,
serpentine and vegetal forms which seem almost too delicate sustain the
integrity of ceramics, and yet they do. The Mexican, Mexico City-based artist,
Christian Camacho has also cultivated a practice from the two-dimensional
medium that goes beyond conventional painting. Here he presents a selection of
three-dimensional works that impose a strange, unnatural geometry upon the
so-called natural world, conflating organic and non organic materials toward
rich, pictorial ends. And finally, Mexican, Mexico City-based painter Lucía
Vidales who is known to create quaint, monstrous and labored paintings,
presents a selection of works in which her process heavy, mark making seems to
take on an almost organic life of its own.
