Lehmann Maupin would like to announce a solo exhibition by Teresita Fernández. The exhibition will consist of three large-scale works. This is Fernández's first solo exhibition at Lehmann Maupin.
For this exhibition, Fernández presents a sculptural environment consisting of abstracted representations of natural phenomena: a sweeping waterfall, a parabolic sand dune, and the quality of light at a precise moment of day. The overt architectural references in much of Fernández's previous work, such as the pool installations or formal garden "rooms," are more subtle here, where she utilizes the innate architecture of natural forms. These organic forms are broken down into thousands or hundreds of thousands of individual elements. Acrylic bands of blue and white curving out from the wall represent water in motion; glass beads covering a dune-shaped form create the shimmering effect of light on sand; hundreds of acrylic cubes in varying hues of violet are points of color that capture the light or atmospheric condition of a particular moment. The effect caused by the bombardment of this multitude of tiny points creates an optically complex experience for the viewer.
