Working across drawing, performance and sculpture, Argentinian artist Marina de Caro employs bold colour to create experiential works that explore the relationship between reality and the imagination.

Drawing on the legacies of avant-garde Argentinian and Brazilian art movements, Espera (Waiting) depicts a black, head-like shape filled with plumes of brightly coloured forms to visually express the intangible link between the mind and the body. As with artworks created in the still life tradition that use our connection to material objects to explore immaterial concepts, Espera (Waiting) uses the visible body to exaggerate unseen experiences of creativity and memory — to offer new ways of seeing.
