Miguel Andrade Valdez in Mexico City
In Mexico City artist Miguel Andrade Valdez opens at the gallery Proyecto Nasal.. The exhibition premiers a new series of painting and drawing on canvas. It takes us back to the artist’s beginnings as a painter after having focused on sculpture and installations for many years, it also takes us into the body and mind. The exhibition is titled la peil which means ”the skin”. Exhibition text by Art Insider PR founder Sofia Bertilsson.
Between us and the world, our skin embraces us, protects us from evil and holds us together like a bag of bones, blood, guts and neurons. Our skin is the house our body built that our mind started to fill with memories, emotions, foibles, fads and dreams. Room by room, it stores and archives, losing the battle against clutter that piles up in the attic. Where to put our teenage dreams? The books we read? Physical memories of hands held, someone else’s skin?
