"A room made of pauses."
Curatorial note

"Morales paints the residue of attention — the after-image that lingers when the eye finally rests. These are paintings about returning, about how a stain becomes a language."

In her third solo exhibition with the gallery, Ana Morales (b. 1988, Guadalajara) returns to oil on linen after a two-year hiatus working in pigment-on-paper. The fourteen canvases gathered here were made between Oaxaca and Mexico City over eighteen months.

The works refuse landscape, refuse portrait. What remains is a slow drift of mark and breath — what the artist calls quietudes en mancha: stillness as stain. The gallery has been re-painted in a single warm gray for the run of the show.
