翻转视角的亲密画

艺术家Cinta Vidal，他曾经创作过一幅虚构的建筑绘画作品，研究不同视角的人如何能够看到并居住在同一个世界。维达尔通过将实验对象放置在漂浮的岛屿上来创造她的视觉隐喻，根据他们所选择的位置呈现出不同的有利位置。在她最新的系列作品中，维达尔更专注于亲密关系，她只使用两到三个人，而不是更多的人口，来填充她悬挂的家具、动物和家居用品。她的《情侣》系列电影将成对的角色放在了相反的位置，夸大了她之前对人类理解的探索。在这些作品中，两个男人背靠背地坐着，用自己的笔记本电脑打字;一个女人坐在扶手椅上渴望地看着，一个男人正对着她椅子下的相反方向站着;这些作品展示了两个人虽然住在同一个社区或家庭，却可能持有不同的理想。

“On Chairs,Acrylic on wood, 32 x 32 cmBarcelona-based artist Cinta Vidal has previously produced fictionalized architectural paintings that study how individuals with differing perspectives can view and inhabit the same world. Vidal crafts her visual metaphors by placing subjects onto floating islands, presenting each with a different vantage point depending on their chosen location. In her newer series of works, Vidal focuses more intently on intimate relationships, populating her suspended clusters of furniture, animals, and household objects with only two or three individuals rather than a larger population.Her Couples series places pairs of characters in opposition to each other, exaggerating her previous explorations of human understanding. In these works two male figures sit back-to-back as they type on their own laptops, a woman peers longingly from an armchair as a man stands facing the opposite direction below her chair, and a boy photographer and woman stare at the same scene, but from flipped perspectives. These works show how two people might hold differing ideals, despite occupying the same community or household.The included paintings will be presented alongside a mural in Vidal’s upcoming solo exhibition Viewpoints at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles from September 15 through October 6, 2018.
