FUSION DE MATICES REVIEW
At a crowded Galeria Albertina in Matamoros, the exhibit "Fusión de Matices" by emerging female artists Samantha García and Yareth Fernandez opened last thursday. Both recent UTB graduates presented their work consisting of painting, drawing, and installation, the first artist portraying themes with a feminist approach and the latter giving life to faceless figures encountering universal issues. Garcia's imagery included breasts as an icon of the role of women in a society where they struggle yet strive to find equality in every sense. This vindication of the female gender is widely seen in her work; one installation in particular that shows this in an interactive way turns into a performance where she invites people to play and do as they like with breasts boxed in cake-like plastic containers placed on top of an elegantly decorated table. On the other hand, Yareth Fernandez gives her view on how she perceives humans and their relation with nature in surrealist environments. Her work intends to portray the division between humanity and nature where the figures lack facial features indicating that she believes in no labels to differentiate human beings. "Fusión de Matices" embodies two visions about ongoing problematics that are relevant to these artists and that they reflect in their work in a way that invites the viewer to give it some thought and probably perceive them in an alternative way.
