JUXTAPOZ – Larissa de Jesús Negrón: I want what I already have @ Future Fair, NYC
Sabroso! Enthusiastic to announce a new single exhibition I want what I already have by Larissa de Jesus Nigeron Pounted in Future Gallery (R9 kiosk) in New York City from 7 to 10 May in Chelsea Industrial City in 535 Watt 28 in this influential series, Larissa de Jesoz Negron deepens the concept of return-to Puerto Rico, to memory, and herself. Through its elaborate oily paintings, it explores the topics of identity, longing and accurate facts that we often ignore. Inspiration was inspired by the world of dreams from Henry Rousseau, Salvador Dali and Louis Burgua.
This is the first single exhibition of De Jesús Negrón since his return to Portorico after spending nine years in New York City. Her work is struggling with tension in the house that she has always had, but he could not really appreciate him after she went out nearly a decade. This exhibition becomes a return to the homeland – a profound, but complex personal journey from re -learning and re -calling its roots.
This work is a strong reflection of the social and political scene of Puerto Rico, as it picks up the continuous economic instability in the island, frequent interruption, and the daily life that is characterized by fragility and flexibility. The challenges of living in such a place and the tensions created by real events skillfully in her art are woven, which creates interference with Puerto Rico’s ability to help one slow down and an environment that leads to recovery through nature.
Andrea Sofia Matos, Director of Development at Sabroso! The comments “Larissa’s work has always been a bowl of her direct reality. When in New York she produced a set of nostalgia for the past and a deep home and a home. Now, her reflection has changed. It is in the space she used to.
DE JESúS Negrón’s work celebrates the wealth of landscapes, rhythms, and cultural differences, while thinking about the process of re -learning and re -contacting its roots. It becomes a reflection on the facility, abandoning the ordinary, and the transformation that comes with a return to the house. It is essential in its artistic exercise an exploration of sustainable ways to create, and to face production concerns while emphasizing meditation and monitoring of the piece finals. Her art talks about the universality of identity, attachment and renewal, and the invitation of viewers to think about their relationship with the place and the self while recognizing the accurate balance between personal and collective dates.
