ÀMBIT Galeria d’Art We are pleased to present, for the first time in the gallery, the drawings exhibition MARIA BALCELLS IN PROCESS Opening: June 4th at half past seven. Until: July 31rst, 2015. María Balcells (Sabadell, Barcelona, 1966), has a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. Since her first exhibition, her paintings had a limited palette and linear strokes. Over time, she has been purifying her language and nowadays she expresses herself by the drawing as a way to capture an introspective look. Maria Balcells has lived in Italy, Indonesia, Greece and currently resides in the United States. These life experiences have influenced her personal journey and consequently her own iconography. Maria’s drawings mapped forms and make us think in organic matter, traces, wounds, fragments of lives covered under the magnification of the microscope. Her traces, obsessively repeated, seem out of time, without horizon, shaping a memory. S/T, 2013 Graphite pencil on paper 36x44 cm. Maria Balcells seeks for answers to natural structures and works around the idea of memory, in a very broad sense. As a legacy of the past, as a present reality, as an inter-generational link, as a personal memory, as a benchmark for our own circumstances, as scars, as neural connections, as a sediment of old age. S/T, 2013 Graphite pencil on paper 46x62 cm. In the words of Ricard Mas: “The Maria’s scale, in this work are, geological or biological speaking, ahistorical. There are no goals, no conjuncture, and no horizon as the vanishing point in the space-time. The scope of her work is limbic”. S/T, 2013 Graphite pencil on paper 46x62 cm. We hope this show unveils your interest and wish to welcome you personally in the course of the opening. For more information about the artist please feel free to contact the gallery.
