Mimi Laquidara, born in Entre Ríos, Argentina, in 1989, is a multidisciplinary artist living between Entre Ríos and Rosario. Exploring Drawing as a language, she creates extensive series of objects, as well as large-scale installations that push the boundaries of drawing into sculpture. Her work explores the relationship between everyday objects, the spaces they inhabit, and the tension between mechanical and manual processes, as well as between copies and originals.
Curves is a series of drawings of fruits and vegetables, made with black ink and a stylographic pen. Eggplants, bell peppers, bananas, pumpkins, asparagus –alone or in pairs – appear as forms that evoke the elegance of the curve and the visual weight of solid black. These figures oscillate between structural rigidity and the flexibility of a line that curves to enter the page, to lean against the margins, or to meet another shape. The curve emerges as a gesture, as connection, and as tension between the organic and the graphic.
