Peter Frank writes about Michelle Concepción in Wynwood Magazin.
The poetics of Concepción’s art emerge from this web of artistic generation and audience reception, from the constant play between what has been made and what is perceived. But this play, this enmeshing of meaning, does not bind such poetics. Those finally anchor in what effect Concepción’s paintings have upon something behind our eyes. We do not feel lighter, brighter, smaller, larger, more enchanted, or more mystified because these works have fooled our eyes into reading them this way or that; we feel thus because these works are painted to convey such sensations. Their ability to trigger metaphors serves their ability to trigger feelings not the other way around. In the end, they are not pictures, but paintings-abstract paintings, meant to transcend the condition of images and provide instead the condition of sensations. To amend Stella, What you see is what you feel.

5. Nov. 2008 – 9. Jan. 2009
| Michelle Concepción hat eine ganz eigene, unverwechselbare Bildwelt entwickelt, die von der Überlagerung äußerst transparenter, klar konturierter Farbflächen bestimmt wird. Der Bildgrund – oft schwarz, neuerdings auch in hellen, lichten Tönen – bleibt stellenweise sichtbar, darüber staffeln sich die einander mehr oder weniger überlagernden Farbformen zu einer tiefen Räumlichkeit. In vollendeter Harmonie schweben diese Formen, die mal an Mikro- mal an Makrokosmos erinnern, über die Leinwand und suggerieren eine bedächtige Reise durch weite Sphären. Stille, Freude, Ruhe, sind die Assoziationen beim Betrachten dieser in subtilem Gleichgewicht gehaltenen Kompositionen visualisierter Zeit.Wir zeigen die in Puerto Rico geborene Künstlerin, die nach ihrem Studium in Chicago, Barcelona und an der HfG Offenbach seit Mitte der 90er Jahre in Frankfurt tätig ist, zum zweiten Mal in einer Einzelausstellung. |
