Varda Caivano

Labor presents the solo exhibition Luz de luna, by the Argentinean painter based in London and Madrid, Varda Caivano.

The practice of Varda Caivano (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1971) is closer to that of a researcher. She does not present herself as an omnipotent artist, nor as a genius artist, but simply as a worker who is interested in and works in her studio on a specific theme. She continues to experiment with the dichotomy between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, color and matter, gesture and texture, solid and liquid; not as motifs of painting, but as a structure that structures itself, perhaps as a metabolism with a life of its own, a poetics that invites us to discover what we do not know or do not want to know that we are. Abstractions, then, in which an intimate vital reality beats. In a way, Varda's painting is conceptual and committed. Today's world has changed and requires a space for thought through painting, an act, therefore, also political.
