Gabriella Garcia is a self-taught artist, whose practice ranges between sculpture, painting and installations. With a process that she initially took as collage as a driving force, Gabriella’s work comprises not only the place where she is, but also what it derives from. Cropped figures take the space from works where plaster, fabric, polyurethane, vacuum, metals, minerals, among others, dialogue in the construction of unique pieces that have, in their compositions, magnetism as a tonic. The images in the artist’s constructions, whether bi- or three-dimensional, work as if in a continuous effort of fusion: an incessant search for assimilation of materials that, in their essence, bring in their materiality a unique reality and tangibility. The works put to the test a vivid exercise in the confrontation between gesture and nature; manipulation and relationship, creating a game where what is understood as terrain is the unique possibility that the artistic gesture has to make brutality, lightness.
