Jorge Pineda:
Shadows and Other Fairy Tales

September 28 – December 28, 2012

Curated by Mariluz Hoyos

The Hunter East Harlem Gallery presented the first US solo exhibition of Dominican artist Jorge Pineda featuring two major art installations. The exhibition includes one of the artist’s most representative works to date, The Forest: Lies (Version III, 2006), a psychologically charged artwork characteristic of Pineda’s blend of drawing and installation.

Pineda conceived a new installation for this exhibition: Oh Taschen, Taschen, Taschen! Wild Girls Without a Mask (2012), composed of double portraits of 93 international women artists using Taschen’s publication Women Artists of the 20th and 21st Century as a point of departure. The work is an inventory-like accumulation of portraits that juxtaposes drawings depicting the faces of each artist, and acrylic paintings of Lucha Libre masks that conform to the artists’ features. The exhibition illustrated how the artist explores the psychological shaping of individuals and society, the interaction of the conscious and unconscious, and the interplay of visibility and concealment.

This exhibition and its public programs are funded in part by the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros.
