Appropriating images of pop culture and various periods of art history, Natalia Rolón’s narrative paintings are influenced by techniques of storytelling, such as film, theater and illustration. „If Rolón’s work belonged anywhere on a face it would be in the glimmer of the eye. Her paintbrush is tiny and agile and hovers just above the canvas like it could go anywhere, like it may just as well never touch it at all. A persistent sense of limbo, and the feeling that the real subject of the painting is just outside of the frame render the works, to use Freud’s word, overdetermined: of multiple causes, never just about one thing.“ (from Kristian Vistrup Madsen’s exhibition text) Natalia Rolón (b. Buenos Aires, ARG) has had solo and group exhibitions at brunand brunand, Berlin (2021); Haus Wien (2020); Castiglioni, Milan (2019) and Hester, New York (2016). She lives and works in Berlin.
