About the artist:
Lucía Vidales’ paintings are informed by the consequences of colonialism, addressing the canvas as a body. The artist's compositions also frequently depict actual bodies—fragmented limbs often emerge from, or sink into, the luminous or shadowy depths of her painterly surfaces. For Vidales, painting can transform time, our relationship with matter and how we experience our own forms.
Group exhibitions that have shown Vidale’s work include: Four Women Painters at the Crossroads at Sapar Contemporary (at Piero Atchugarry Gallery) in Miami, Florida (2020–21); Murales para un cubo blanco [Murals for a white cube] at Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros in Mexico City (2020); Daichi Takagi, Lucia Vidales, Hiroka Yamashita at Taka Ishii in Tokyo, Japan (2020); Prince·sse·s des villes (City Prince/sses) at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France (2019); and Terra Preta (Black Earth) at PROXYCO in New York City (2019).
Vidales’ work is in the collection of the Aguascalientes Museum of Contemporary Art in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
Lucía Vidales lives and works in Monterrey, Mexico.
