Exhibition Statement

by Werner Meyer, Kunsthalle Goeppingen

Cristina Barroso setzt sich in ihrer Malerei mit jedweder Art von Karten auseinander. Landkarten und topografische Städtefotografien bilden in ihren Arbeiten den Untergrund für Farben und Texturen in ihrer Malerei. So entsteht eine malerische Topografie, eine eigene Bildersprache im Kontext dessen, was im Kunstdiskurs mit „mapping“ umschrieben wird. Geografische Texturen und malerische Strukturen interpretieren sich gegenseitig als Systeme und Muster. Namen und Zahlen unterstreichen die konzeptuelle Idee, die Malerei wiederum zu vermessen und mit Bedeutungen dem Bildraum Orientierungen zu geben und imaginäre Territorien zu schaffen. In den Bildern findet man das Staunen des Reisenden, das Gedächtnis der Geschichte, literarische Anspielungen und die abstrahierende, malerische Gegenwart der Künstlerin.

In her works, Cristina Barroso grapples with, examines, and uses all kinds of maps. Conventional maps and topographic city photographs form the substratum for colors and textures in her painting. What comes into existence is pictorial topography, a unique metaphorical language within the context of what is described as “mapping” in art discourse. Geographic textures and painterly structures mutually interpret each other as systems and patterns. Names and numbers underscore the conceptual idea to, in turn, measure the works and, with meanings, give orientation to the pictorial space and create imaginary territories. In these paintings, the observer finds the astonishment of the traveler, literary allusions, and the artist’s abstracting, painterly presence.
