Marina Núñez - Envy (Birch Branch)

Artist Biography:

With her recent plastic work, Marina Núñez (Palencia, 1966) invites us to reflect on how the increasingly common interferences between the human and the technological affect our subjectivity and our lives. A constant in her work has always been the representation of aberrant beings, different, those who exist on the margins or against the canon. The anomalous bodies that populate his paintings, infographics or videos speak to us of a metamorphic, hybrid, multiple identity. He recreates a destabilized and impure subjectivity for which otherness is not something alien, but basically constitutes the human being.
Thus, his hysterical women, jellyfish, mummies, monsters or cyborgs, despite belonging to the territory of the excluded, are not distant to us but affect and identify us. And their images are perceived as slightly deformed mirrors that suggest to us that madness or monstrosity are simply a matter of degree.
Marina Núñez's work is part of outstanding collections such as those of Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, MUSAC, Artium, CA2M, La Caixa, Fundación Botín, Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Katzen Art's Center, FRAC Corse, Cairo Museum, etc; and has been widely distributed inside and outside the artistic circuit, as author of publications, texts for congresses, etc. Since 1993 she has held multiple exhibitions in prestigious museums and galleries in Europe, Latin America and the United States, including solo exhibitions at the Reina Sofia Museum, MUSAC, Artium, Es Baluard, Chapel of the Patio Herreriano Museum, Centre d'Art La Panera, Burgos Cathedral, the intervention on the facade of the IVAM, etc.. Or in the Galleries Buades, OMR, Pilar Serra, Espacio Mínimo, John Berggruen and many others.
