| Transgression in Space Dante Maffia, Rome Fantasy and sensibility are the breath necessary to do art, but not without the support of technique. Otherwise, they would be reduced to expressions of incomprehensible and disoriented lightning: glowing flashes that we couldn’t explain. Graciela Cassel, a painter that from her beginnings has showed decisiveness and aptitude for relating to the “pathos” of modernity. She challenges the space of immense canvasses, in which she imprints the movement, rhythm, and inchoate substance of bodies moving in a poetic dimension, but still grounded, living: authentic forms that lose weight and specificity in their movement. She embarks on her quest with her brushstrokes. She frees the images, simultaneously, from a safe that she keeps in her memory; they oscillate between a mystical symbolism and ancient metaphor, straining towards a conversion into a substantial, novel existence. |
