Florencia Reisz
Geometrías solares

Winning artist of the ´ace Residency Grant at the Open Buenos Aires, I Edition | 2022

Florencia Reisz is a visual artist from Mar del Plata who works as a visual arts teacher, specialising in printmaking. She develops her work from the deconstruction and experimentation of graphic techniques. She has had solo and group exhibitions in Mar del Plata, Necochea and Buenos Aires since 2008. Since 2014 he has been promoting his workshop Subsuelo Laboratorio de Grabado, sharing his knowledge of graphic art.

During her stay as a resident, she continued a project that she has been developing since 2021, which involves light as a medium in graphics. To make these works, she used the reflection of glass, which was fixed on photosensitive surfaces by means of sunlight. The artist used the terrace for solarisation, the laboratory to develop the offset matrices and the studio/workshop for printing and experimenting with different stages of the inking and printing process.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is an attempt to reveal a situation of dimensional simultaneity. It highlights the idea of duality and multi-universes that coexist in the same moment. The way I do it is through a language that alludes to monoprinting and printing; through space (installations or specific sites), and paper (monoprints, drawings and photographs). The construction of my work is based on the process of experimentation and deconstruction of graphic techniques, from a constant making, always questioning the traditional graphic processes.
