Isabel Croxatto Galería presenta Lovesong, exposición individual del artista Wladymir Bernechea. La muestra, curada por el investigador chileno Sebastián Valenzuela-Valdivia, reúne 24 pinturas de recientes que transitan entre la soledad y la añoranza en una batalla silenciosa entre el blanco y el negro, y será presentada en línea a partir del 28 de abril en el espacio virtual ICG+. El título de la exposición, Lovesong, es una directa referencia a la canción homónima de la banda británica The Cure de 1989, coincidentemente también el año de nacimiento del artista. “Whenever I’m alone with you, you make me feel whole again… However far away, I will always love you” [“Cuando estoy solo junto a ti, me haces sentir completo otra vez… No importa la lejanía, siempre te amaré”] canta Robert Smith, líder de la banda, sobre una oscura melodía con tintes pop. De la misma forma, Wladymir Bernechea explora temáticas recurrentes de su producción, como la soledad, la melancolía y la introspección, mediante rostros, figuras y paisajes desdibujados que se asoman silenciosamente entre la sublimación de los blancos y la pesadumbre de los negros.

Isabel Croxatto Galería is pleased to present Ex Post, solo exhibition by textile artist Paloma Castillo, opening 25 November in our virtual gallery space, ICG+ Ex Post gathers a series of 20 medium sized pieces created by the artist. Through the analogous and mechanical exercise of hand embroidery, and in the isolation resulting from the quarantine, the artist expresses her vision of the main events that have affected Chile in recent months: the social outlook following the 18 October social outburst of 2019, and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The curatorial text of the exhibition has been written by José Salomón Gebhard, Doctor in Literature from the University of Chile. Meanwhile, Chilean composer and artist Sebastián Jatz has created the soundscape that accompanies the virtual tour of the exhibition.

Isabel Croxatto Galería is pleased to present After Nature by Andrea Wolf, inaugural exhibition of our new virtual gallery space, ICG+. After Nature presents a collection of 23 digitally manipulated botanical illustrations that explore our hypermediated relationship with nature, and how it has been heightened during the pandemic. Each species is affected by a custom-made pixel-sorting algorithm, resulting in mutations that create tensions in the aesthetic idea of nature as something that can be dominated, classified, and possessed.⁣⁣ After Nature features the soundscape 'Estela', created specially for the exhibition by experimental Puerto Rican composer Angélica Negrón, as well as curatorial text by Chilean academic and poet Macarena Urzúa.
