Edna Pallares

Drexel Galería presents El brillo de la forma, an exhibition of the work of Edna Pallares, on display during the month of April.

Brightness, light, radiance, luminosity are ways of approaching the form. Form that shines because the skin it possesses is luminous, “it has its own light”. Light that, at times, can be so bright that it can be blinding.

So “The glow of form” is an exhibition that vindicates the work with its different emanations of brightness and, above all, the golden glow. Gold that recalls the European and colonial work before the twentieth century and at the same time the oriental, Buddhist gold. Both are ways of approaching the shiny as an act of patience, of time. It is the brightness emanating from a very slow artisanal process and that is the only way to get light. Luminosity made through layers that follow each other in a rigorous order, but that, nevertheless, do not cease to illustrate a form that emanates a glow that seems natural to the form itself, as if they were brightness and form, one and the same thing.
