Visited the Firelei Báez exhibition at @mcachicago.bsky.social.

​The layers feel like she’s physically painting a new future over the past. ​The scale and the textures create a narrative so beautifully surreal and deep.

Highly recommend.

​A vibrant painting of a Black woman with voluminous, dark hair resting peacefully in a dense field of green foliage. Her face is obscured by a bouquet of bright pink and red flowers. She wears a sheer, white polka-dotted dress, and an open copy of Octavia E. Butler’s "Parable of the Sower" lies in the grass beside her. ​A large-scale painting where powerful, muscular horses are rendered in explosive, poured acrylic paint. Deep blues, bright yellows, and fiery oranges bleed together, creating a sense of chaotic, unbridled movement. The paint partially obscures a background of historical documents and maps printed on the canvas. ​A complex multimedia work on a background of an antique Dutch map. A central figure is doubled over; their body is a translucent, rainbow-colored mass that resembles both blown glass and internal organs. The "head" of the figure is an explosion of detailed botanical illustrations—tulips, irises, and grapes—intertwined with glass vessels.

"Life beats down and crushes the soul, and #art reminds you that you have one." - #StellaAdler

Had my mind absolutely blown to bits by Firelei Báez, her bold colours and brilliantly subversive use of historical documents, and I'm feeling all the better for it.

Photo of a large scale painting hung on an off white gallery wall, lit by three gallery lights suspended above, and supported by a shiny hardwood floor stretching out below. The bottom layer of the large canvas on the wall is a rendering of a historical document featuring black architectural drawings on parchment coloured background. The painting layered over is bold and colourful, with large textured brushstrokes, depicting abstract crashing waves in blues and creams, seemingly leaping out of the canvas and away from the historical document behind. An abstract and colourful painting of a figure stepping out of a doorway towards the viewer. The painted doorway is curved at the top, and resembles a white stone alcove from antiquity designed for housing statues. The only recognizable human part of the figure is the legs, visible from the knees down, left foot forward, as the rest of the body is obscured by an explosion of colour and texture: yellows, oranges, pinks and greens, in a starburst type shape, expanding from the centre outwards and seemingly into the gallery space itself. An abstract and colourful painting of a figure stood in a doorway, facing towards the viewer. The painted doorway is curved at the top, and resembles a white stone alcove from antiquity designed for housing statues. The only recognizable human part of the figure is the legs, visible from the knees down, as the rest of the body is obscured by an explosion of colour and texture: yellows, reds, purples and blues, in a starburst type shape, expanding from the centre outwards and seemingly into the gallery space itself. A collage of three different photos of the same art installation in a gallery. The art installation is a large mosaic of different historical documents, maps, photos, pages from books, etc., with colourful and abstract acrylic pantings and illustrations drawn directly over top. The first, top photo is a close up, focusing on single a page from a historical book, with a black and white photo of a man, and a painted white and pink striped female figure layered over, positioned so her defiant fist raised into the air is also punching up into his nostril. The second, bottom right photo is halfway zoomed out, depicting a variety of different sized rectangular pages from historical books with different, colourful, playful illustrations layered over each. The third, bottom left photo is fully zoomed out, showing all the individual pieces and the full scale of the mosaic installation stretching across a large, bright white, gallery wall.
