Slewe Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition Interlace by Teresiña Talarico on Friday 2 June during Amsterdam Art Week featuring a selection of her recent paintings. It will be her first show at the gallery.
Teresiña Talarico, born in Santiago de Chile, is known for her poetic, minimal abstract paintings. Her oeuvre of more than 30 years is, simply put, about the dynamics of form and the power of color. Simple abstract shapes in combination with different colors make the paintings strong carriers of emotion.
Raised in Chile and Bolivia, she studied Philosophy and Art History in Cologne, followed by Fine Arts at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Her career began in the 1990s with exhibitions in Europe and South America. She has been living and working in Dordrecht for several years now.
In 2021, an extensive catalog of her work has been published by Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König in Cologne. The book Interlace gives an overview of Talarico’s work and is beautifully designed by Walter Nikkels. It will be presented during a conversation with Robert van Altena in the gallery on Sunday June 4 between 3 and 4 pm.
