Gathering is thrilled to participate in the inaugural edition of MIRA with a group presentation featuring works from Ana Prata, Wynnie Mynerva, Berenice Olmedo and Daniel de la Barra. MIRA is a contemporary fair with the mission of showcasing the contemporaneity of the Latin American art scene.
The bright hues of yellow and pink and weathered textural application of paint within Ana Prata’s Agrado blends the decorative arts and graphism with the dialogue of contemporary painting. The painting draws the viewer in for its vibrancy and small scale simplicity. Prata’s lyrical still life of fruit references past art movements like primitivism and Cubism, while the title Agrado emphasises pleasure and pleasantness, marking the artist’s interest primarily in the act of painting itself.
Prata’s painting is shown in the company of Wynnie Mynerva’s works of ink on paper - intimate yet ambiguous outlines of the body that read at once beautiful and strange. As is often the case with Mynerva’s work, hints of violence bubble at the surface of her pictorial resestablishments of traditional conceptions of gender.
