Ablution
September 10 – October 16, 2010
Artist Reception: Friday, September 17, 6-8 PM
In Ana Teresa Fernandez’ exhibition Ablution, water's ability to reflect and distort plays a central role. Fernandez’ large-scale photo-realist paintings are based on performances by the artist. By embracing a strong love of metaphor and a dose of magical realism, these paintings defy easy categorization of being simply one thing. Those familiar with Fernandez’ work will see a further questioning of modern society in this latest body of work. Questions of gender roles, divisions of labor and class are all posed in an arena of masterful painting that is unique to Fernandez’ work. In an ever expanding definition of Ablution, Fernandez looks at literal, corporeal and spiritual facets of a word that has had great meaning in almost every culture.
