Solares Alejandrina presents a new series of works entitled "the new picture balloonhandwritting blue" works which develop its latest searches between pictorial graphic and visual poetry. The series consists of eight works painted to complement the exhibition were chosen and included two other works " : an artist's book / object from the book entitled" I have written several times ... I will die , "and a video performance entitled " ANXIETY " .
The exhibition explores and develops the phrase " I die " from which the idea of the title of the exhibition.
The work on display is part of a research project that involves the exploration and investigation of issues related to the body sick , the suffering and the threat of death. In addition to the works of the pictorial series " New picture balloonhandwritting blue" explained the visitor will find an artist's book and a video performance . Conceptually, these works are related to the long chain of experience that we find in history under the definition of " Memento Mori " .
The artist Solares Alejandrina in his work creates abstract and conceptual works . His work probing the life, explore ambiguously together with invisible boundaries of the body , analyze the precariousness of life because it is a universal quality of human nature, by comparison with topics such as , death , suffering, disease and physical pain.
His latest paintings combine conceptual density of a narrative force iconic slim with writing, appears in his works the simultaneous presence of writing and image on a single surface . Calligraphic signs are interwoven with images , both have a value of occult symbol or arcane textual fragments , the image looks like a mess but it could also be read as a tissue or set of channels / filaments. His works evoke the impression reminiscent of graffiti and inscriptions as the epigraphs .
In the works "the new picture balloonhandwritting blue" the phrase " I die " , in Italian , flows across the surface of the canvas and creates a sort of cartography of signs, the work is based on a magical writing that aspires to put the viewer of Given the importance of her being here and now ( hic et nunc ) . The phrase appears as a repetition of the obvious fact that one day our lives will end , appearing with repetitive and obsessive forms giving the impression that it is the only way for the artist to soothe the anguish of confrontation with life, mode of sentence written in these works repeatedly assumes the function of a " sort of meditation " and a " sort of anesthesia ."
Technical description of the work

Solares defines these works in these terms:
"I think today the comparison with the precariousness of the body is more and more difficult especially now that we are immersed in the art and there is a boundary between natural and artificial , and currently the death has become a taboo and we are distressed by comparison with physical pain , the suffering , the suffering and disease. In my work, these are topics that make up the central theme of my work because I think that addressing these issues will contribute significantly to the growth of the individual and his happiness in this sense my work is a way to find courage and a reaction to not empty your life , which is always a great thing . "
" I think that people , through positive or negative experiences and surroundings create their own life, my works remind us that death will come , without exception , without distinction of sex or skin color, nationality and social class, recalling the equality of men , my work emphasizes how important it is to respect and recognize the value of life . Ballonhandwritting blue recalls that die and in doing so shows that we are alive , prospettandoci the opportunity to do something nice today with our lives , for ourselves and for others. "
Solares Alejandrina Josefina , Artist Book "I have written several times .... I will die , " 2006-12 , only example , raw clay , fabric and mixed media , dimensions variable ( open book cm) ( Closed 35 x 30 x 70h cm ) Weight 2kg .
This is a book sculpture , composed of several pieces that could be defined as "pages."
It is a three-dimensional object that does not lend itself to manipulation. The artist entrusts his message written in a precarious surface , a sentence written with charcoal on a surface similar to earth.
The work assumes a reflection on our own existence , human life has made of poetry and pleasure, but also the danger of constant insecurity , lack of peace. The only way to soothe the anguish of clearness in comparison with the life , in this work it is granted from acting , in its application to art making , it is under these conditions that the work is done , the mode of a sentence written repeatedly the need to create " as" a kind of meditation and , at the same time , an anesthesia.

Installation made with windows movie marke , power director and media show . Presentation: full-scale projection , video documentation .
An attempt to materialize an inner reality as the anguish , despair , threat , anxiety and agitation , achieved through manipulation of the video. The artist autoriprende with a video camera , he created a video performance , the work fits into the theme of the self . The video is treated with distortions , mutations and hybridizations . The images come from footage taken directly from the artist at his home . The sound is the result of musical collage products with an organ along with noises recorded with your cell phone to your computer and processed . The work is the result of a mingling of languages.
Sinosi : The video puts the viewer in front of the mystery and fear of an event, through a mixture of reality and fantasy.
Through this work Solares try to bring out a fact - inner world marked by restlessness , confusion and despair , intense emotional condition that under certain conditions and situations becomes part of the life of persone.Il video created through the manipulation of the observer ' image and atmosphere that evokes the sound with a situation of involvement , the observer is uncertain and at the same time feels the restlessness , anxiety and waiting for an event to be feared.
