Lara Padilla - Down the river
Artist Biography: The persona of Lara Padilla erupts as an element of her own concerns and desires, her pursuit for fair relations amongst every being on Earth. Right at the very beginning of her career as an artist, Padilla viewed with great concern the generational battles of our societies, some harder than others, but difficult enough to cause unrest and discomfort. Women, children, animal and men viewed in that order as targets of social injustice and abuses have been her talking points and sources of inspiration to express disgust and disagreement. For her, addressing those topics in painting has made it easier to portray ideas, concepts and situations that may well be considered out of reach for some but meaningful for many others. In that sense, Padilla became known through her Tetris series where she tackles gracefully the women body in an attempt to grant merits to the natural struggles that a female body is usually in due to biological changes only attached to being a woman.
This works is part of the latest series of body of works by Lara Padilla, called Melancholia. It is based on her personal concerns on issues related to those most neglected species on Earth. The artist went back to the early times of circus to change pictorically the role of animal in the entertainment industry, where most have been treated as objects since the very beginning of the Greek times. Animals, women, children and men e.g., life has been Lara's artistic driving force to gain a common ground of coexistence in harmony.
