MICHELLE GLEISER
Michelle Gleiser @michellegleiserarte was born in Lima, Perú, in 1983. Currently she lives and works in Lima. Her personal and professional search process began when she first graduated as a Bachelor in Business Administra- tion with a major in Human Resources. Then, she pursued her passion for art, becoming a visual artist. • Her work develops through composition; either from diverse elements that complement each other, or from different selections of colors, textures or materials, formed into a single piece. By building, accommodating and using mixed media, she creates organic and asymmetric pieces; innate and reflex- ive works that playfully resolve their own questions and curiosities, showing a naturalistic side, either in the work of art physically or in the background concept. • The artist considers her contemporary work as a continuous and infinite expression of life, as a game of inexhaustible possibilities through which she develops results and conclusions that become works of art; all of them being little fragments of the permanent experiment of her artistic experience.She has taken part in various collective and charitable exhibitions, as well as in the Lima Art Fair and CasaCor Perú.
ALE WENDORFF
In words of Patricia Ciriani, French- Peruvian historian of art, “Her subjects use to open a field outside the heterosexual and patriarchal norms, opposing an oceanic feminine sexuality to the masculine power, in pursuit of new limits for both categories. • These assumed overflows of the feminine over the masculine resemble a psychoanalytic exploration where the interior and the exterior, the intimate/deep, the superficial/universal merge. We have nothing to fear: as Western civilization and its modern paradigm have been devolving, and the couple and love became “liquid” concepts, the art of Ale Wendorff manifests the Hyperwoman, who with liberating force awakens the one who is horrified by the free and fantastic expression, and pleases the esthete in search of balance and harmony.” • Check more of her work inside our MIA anywhere virtual museum.
