OLVIDO (FORGET)
OLVIDO (FORGET)
Monica Lowenberg
A reclining nude figure in terracotta and ochre lies at the canvas's base while abstracted, interlocking silhouettes — rendered in bold red, cobalt blue, purple, yellow, green, and white — surge upward like a tide of memory or presence. Löwenberg works in smooth, hard-edged planes of color with sinuous contours that bleed seamlessly into one another, giving the composition a graphic power closer to sculpture than painting. The title OLVIDO — forgetting — charges the image with quiet drama: the solitary body below seems to dissolve into, or perhaps recede from, the swelling forms above.
