Bellas Artes, which has represented the Colombian artist, Olga de Amaral, since 1986, is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent work including the works which were shown at The Metropolitan Museum of Art during her lecture in April.
The Bellas Artes exhibition will feature her shimmering gold or silver leafed, constructed and painted wall hangings as well as her new Glyph series in which she incorporates earth toned clay for the first time. De Amaral's inspiration has always come from the landscape, architecture and native inhabitants of Colombia; from the rivers, mountains, ancient monolithic stones, pre-Columbian gold, traditional weaving and especially the Spanish colonial churches. In the Glyph series, she uses a clay surface inspired by the adobe walls of her country.
De Amaral has created a unique art form which challenges narrow critical categorization combining elements of fiber art, painting and sculpture. In the prologue of "Olga de Amaral: The Mantle of Memory" Edward Lucie-Smith stated:
Olga de Amaral is unique among contemporary Latin American artists. At the heart of this uniqueness lies the fact that her work is essentially unclassifiable.
Her surfaces have a unique shimmer, a unique variability. They seem like a pure manifestation of the light which, as pre-Columbian peoples of the Americas knew, rules all human lives.
In the past 10 years, major exhibitions of de Amaral's work have been held in museums in Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Japan, Germany, France and the United States. Her work is in numerous museum collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, the Musee d' Art Moderne de la Ville in Paris and the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto.
