As other women from the last decades, Miriam Medrez has written over her body, she has had to invent and re-invent herself to embrace herself as one, without requiring subversion or direct confrontation nor, on the other hand, ending up in essentialism. Se represents herself apart from the symbolic, patriarchal order, creating her own means of representation. She moves from the subtlety and passivity to an aggressive confrontation. This work pairs her up with artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Kiki Smith, Eva Hesse or Judy Chicago to whom the necessity of exploring their identity and intimacy drives them to the use of a metaphorical iconology of the female body managing to generate alternative representations to those that by norm had been assigned to the female body, showing the experience of being body. |

No one can be able (Painted prayers and other chants)
I am absolutely convinced that there is no art without adventure. My adventure keeps finding its way within the regular borders delimiting a painting: in it, things happen, stories unfold, traditional means of time and space are disrupted, messages are encoded, mystery can be glimpsed. As it will be clear with this show, I have a certain inclination for risk. A harmless risk, nonetheless, but meaningful for someone who is just a painter. I step into the quicksands of visual narrative, of the anecdote and the metaphor.
I realized on the fly that through art I could try to fill the void left by disbelief. Others have achieved it. These prayers come from looking back at this internal conflict. The contemplation of these paintings requires to run one’s eyes over them. They are made up of several fragments that may be read in a ascendant or descendant way and each one of them makes sense once this glazing has happened and its content has been interiorized.
