Biography

Ivana de Vivanco's practice conjures up theatrical scenes with uncanny atmospheres full of metaphors and sociopolitical references with a big influence from Latin American Baroque – the most colourful and painful Baroque of all since the wound of colonisation has remained inscribed in it. This influence manifests in a body of work where the use of colour is aggressively bright encouraging different painting rhythms – from velvety surfaces to expressive marks and raw gestures – and characters whose forced expressions transmit a subtle discomfort.
