Galería de las Misiones participates in Female Voices of Latin-America on Vortic London with the argentine kinetic artist Mariana Villafañe. We will be displaying, as a preview, artworks from "Chromoscapes" a series of paitings based on the study of Aldous Huxley's essay "The Doors of Perception".

In "Chromoscapes" the artist Mariana Villafane incorporates the study of color to her continuous search of movement and visual vibration as a metaphor of transformation.This series of paintings are the result of the study of Aldous Huxley's 1954 essay "The Doors of Perception". Huxley takes William Blake's phrase: ... "If the doors of perception were purified, everything would appear before man as it is: infinite" ...

Taking Blake's quote as a basis, Huxley tried to corroborate the fact that the human brain filters reality, preventing the passage of impressions and images impossible to process in a mind. In his writings, he tries to decipher the indescribable, managing to extract intellectual approaches beyond mysticism, Huxley's thought, reflective and nonconformist, offers large windows from which to observe the world.These detailed descriptions invite Villafañe to think about the contemporary vision of a world in an abstract language; in the relationship between reality and perception of reality and in the construction of a modern, utopian imaginary, a real need for evasion in the face of an uncertain panorama. The exhibition will be complemented with artworks from the series "Paisajes Audibles" and "Campo Vibratorio" works that represent the visual vibration and movent of sound in order to give an overview of the career of the artist.
