Travesía Cuatro is pleased to present an exhibition of recent works by Vicky Uslé, comprising large-format paintings on paper and a short video in which one can see, over and over again, the vast monumental embrace-cum-dance between the wind and a tree whose top leaves reddened by the fall move in such a way that they recall shimmering flames of fire while the sound brings to mind the crackling noise of a blazing bonfire.
In her paintings, colour slowly takes on paramount importance on extremely delicate and intense surfaces. Presence and body of colours and gesture merge into forms, then break up again only to rediscover them powerfully, through evocative and categorical wefts, in atmospheres of powders and pigments. Forms that grow, redolent and complex, that float, advance and reassert, unfolding in large open spaces like seeds and suggestions that become deeper and more emphatic forms, often bound to recollections of...nature. The overall whole is, to my way of thinking, a climactic twilight of vibrant colours.
Vicky Uslé was born in Santander, Spain in 1981. She lives and works between New York and Saro (Cantabria, Spain).
