For presentation at ARCOmadrid 2019, Santo Domingo - based gallery Syndicato proudly presents works by Quisqueya Henriquez and a series of collaborations between Henriquez and artist Pepe Mar.
In their distinct bodies of work, Henriquez and Mar resist and renegotiate the surface and material of the picture plane as it has long been understood across the history of art. Canvas takes on new meaning in these pieces, where it is pierced, cut apart, extended, or replaced in transformative interventions that nod towards the visual vocabularies of formal abstraction, popular culture, alternative subcultures, and fashion. Positioned at the foundation of their respective practices, the redefined canvas becomes a catalyst for new ways of experiencing the two-dimensionality of the painting surface.
