Addison Gallery is thrilled to present the extraordinary work of Barcelona-based artist Alicia Gimeno. Renowned for her passionate exploration of black and white, Alicia creates compelling pieces that capture the movement and expressiveness of line. Her art transforms simplicity into profound depth, using precise and dynamic strokes to convey the intricate emotions of the human experience. With a unique ability to evoke both energy and introspection, Alicia’s creations resonate deeply with viewers.
Gimeno’s practice extends beyond visual representation, focusing on the energetic and spatial dynamics of her brushwork. Grounded in Eastern philosophies, she incorporates Qì (氣)—the essence of life—into her work, along with wabi sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection, and ma, the interplay of form and negative space.
For Gimeno, art is an autonomous language rooted in life and movement. Good art, she believes, allows form to embrace life’s flow rather than constrict it. In her work, context and text open a dialogue, creating an organic synthesis that connects the material, the spiritual, and the viewer.
