ANDRÉS MARIO DE VARONA + CRISTÓBAL ASCENCIO

Posted on 2024-03-18

The upcoming exhibition at Pictura explores the complex relationship of a child to a deceased parent. The show features two different projects, Contact by Andrés Mario de Varona, and Las flores mueren dos veces by Cristobal Ascencio.

Both projects are built from the artist’s efforts to connect with the lost parent. Ascencio creates a haunting virtual garden, honoring his father’s vocation as a gardener. De Varona works with personal relics, family members, and the mysterious properties of light to reach back towards his mother.

Opposite – Work by Cristóbal Ascencio

Exhibition runs through to March 25th, 2024
