Susana Gómez-Ortiz

Servidor Local invites you to the closing of La cena obscena by Susana Gómez-Ortiz.

Have you ever felt that your contours, limits or boundaries blur when you are with someone else? Or even when you are in different places, you give up a part of yourself whether you agree or not and you become impregnated with something foreign but now part of you, pigments are mixed and inevitably a third party is born, many third parties, each one of us are many beings, versions of our person. La cena obscena is a plastic selection accompanied by the curator Hiram Silva, where, together, they propose to enter into the personal limits from the affective bonds.

Susana Gómez Ortiz (Mexico City, Mexico, 1978) has dedicated her time to reflect on different media, though painting and drawing constitute her core language. Identity and eroticism are concepts that have been part of her imaginary, threading her artistic and reflective work through time. She has sought to decontextualize the female body iconographically represented in national erotic comics to introduce a subjective dimension close to the experience of enjoyment as an exploration of identity. She seeks to fragment the image of the female body stereotyped in this type of publications to transform it symbolically into an erogenous experience that resignifies the scenarios. Founder of Estudio Marte, she works as an artistic, conceptual and linguistic laboratory where the figure between artist and curator is more a stimulus than a justification and in which the discourse is configured as an experimental dialogue where artists have to face the space, the work and themselves.
