Category Archives: EVERY WHICH WAY/ DE TODAS MANERAS

“Every Which Way” is my latest work using nail polish on iron. I started using this medium commonly associated with feminine beauty in 2010. I was initially attracted to the product because of the enormous spectrum of color, texture, and sparkle they provide. I have been collecting and using these little bottles of paint ever since.

This latest work is a series of two mobiles and several abstract paintings all on iron and painted with nail polish,this time with the added use of magnets which vary in strengths and depths which allow me to change the arrangement of the elements which compose each piece giving then innumerable possibilities of composition.
Some of the pieces like “Desert Dream” for example are exremely sculptural and protrude out of the wall where they are suspended on a plaque and held by the force of a neodymium disc magnet. “Deconstructed Star” is different as it is composed of five pieces which can be a star or as I present it with in its different abstract shapes floating on the wall again held by the force of the magnets.
Every Which way is an exploration into magnetism, color, shape , form, texture , shine and sparkle. With these pieces I offer the spectator the possibility to inter react with his art work, to be able to participate in the creative act and to have fun with it as well as admire it.

“De todas maneras” es mi ultimo trabajo en el que he utilizado laca de uñas sobre placa de hierro.
Empecé a usar este material, normalmente asociado a la belleza femenina en el año 2010. Inicialmente, este producto me atrajo por la enorme gama de colores, texturas y brillos disponibles. Desde entonces sigo coleccionando y trabajando con estas pequeñas botellas de pintura.

Con este trabajo presento dos móviles y una serie de cuadros abstractos, todos ellos pintados sobre hierro añadiendo el uso de imanes como elementos de sujeción y de interactividad con el espectador.
Estos imanes son de diferentes tamaños, fuerzas y grosores, su poder de atracción instantánea permite cambiar el orden de cada elemento, generando múltiples composiciones en una misma pieza.
Algunas de las piezas como “Desert dreams” por ejemplo, son relieves esculturales que sobresalen de la pared suspendidos a través de un imán neodymium. “Deconstructed Star” tiene la particularidad de tener 5 piezas que pueden presentarse formando una estrella o pueden componer diferentes formas irregulares.
“De todas maneras” es una exploración del magnetismo, el color, las formas, las texturas y los brillos. Con este trabajo ofrezco al espectador la posibilidad de ínter -actuar con la obra de arte, participar en el acto creativo y disfrutar con ella además de admirarla.
L.D.
