Inaugurating our new space in Little Haiti, CENTRAL FINE presents Zelmira Rizo’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The following text shares a part of the the artist’s introductory remarks:

“I approach drawing (v.) as a practice that moves, sweats, and performs on the platform or stage that is a wood panel, canvas, a wall, the floor, a page. It is like automatic writing and somatic movement. A phrase, feeling, or question opens and guides the unfolding of a piece. It usually becomes its title.

On this platform, figuration and abstraction are records of movement, modes of mark-making that embody my conceptual and material explorations: to collapse and build figure and space, image and material, into entities that “touch,” that exist in greater awareness of their connection and similarity, than of their ‘boundaries’ and difference...”

Zelmira Rizo with her work, currently on view, at “El Otro Pozo Ciego/ Night Vision” . Scroll —>

A few words by follow:

“I ‘introspect’ attuning to the body to “draw out” pulses, images, and information that would otherwise remain latent.”

“…The marks and compositions that unfold hold a mirror and generate new vocabulary and structures for perceiving, interpreting, and articulating the pressure in my chest, the tension in my neck and back, the congestion in my head….translating and mapping feeling into form while digesting it.”

“MASA and Luhring Augustine are pleased to announce that their second collaborative exhibition has been extended through April 12, 2025.

Installed throughout MASA’s historic Mexico City space, “MASA + Luhring Augustine Vol. 2,” highlights the work of six artists and designers from both gallery programs. Across three rooms are installed a trio of pairings of artists - Pipilotti Rist and Alma Allen; Eva LeWitt and Hector Esrawe; and Diego Singh and Renata Petersen.

Although there are affinities between the works, the dialogues between artists from Mexico and their international counterparts are associative rather than didactic, and unexpected encounters among recognizable idiosyncrasies arise.

Notes about Mar Peréz’s work by Ana Volonté .

“…Su trabajo a través de más de veinte años de producción aparece y desaparece manifestándose en diferentes lenguajes como el cine, la música, el teatro, la pintura. Esa emergencia experimental, intermitente y manifiesta en saltos tiene un hilván, construye un relato a través de las supervivencias en su propia obra: planos de color, invensión de paletas, pequeños rincones de figuración delicada. La expedición dorada desbarata el género, es puro paisaje natural y psíquico, no admite nombre ni definición.

Esta nueva aparición de Mar Perez deja que se ilumine una posibilidad instantánea y liminal de la pintura académica o folclórica. Las enciclopedias aprendidas en el plagio de las fotocopias, permiten una apropiación parcial de las referencias oficiales de la pintura, se las recicla en un anclaje local que le pierde el respeto a las referencias y las usa para retratar los amores que indican fugazmente los hitos de su propia historia.”

Ana Volonté, noviembre de 2024

…” His work appears and disappears, manifesting itself in various forms, including cinema, music, theatre, and painting. This experimental and intermittent approach emerges in leaps that serve as a thread, constructing a narrative of diverse survivals within his oeuvre: planes of color, invented palettes, and small corners of delicate figuration. The golden expedition transcends genre; it represents a pure natural and psychic landscape that resists categorization or definition.

This new manifestation of Mar Perez illuminates an instantaneous and liminal possibility for academic or folkloric painting. The encyclopedias learned through the appropriation of photocopied materials enable a partial assimilation of the official references of painting, which are then recycled within a local context. This process diminishes the reverence for certain references and employs them to depict the fleeting loves that subtly mark the milestones of his own history…”

CENTRAL FINE is delighted to announce representation of Mar Pérez, in collaboration with Remota Galería .

What follows are notes on Mar’s work:

“….Oil-painted tarot cards by Mar Pérez, set against found and crushed cans, invoke themes of chance and the nomadic, embodying elements that float, yet remain elusive, discernible only through intuition. Mar refers to ‘The Arcane Without Name’ as a card of transformation and passage, proposing that the 13th card of the Major Arcana should serve as a new emblem for the Trans community. This card features a red heart positioned on the pelvis, its hue alluding to the decapitation of kings, outdated habits, and entrenched cultural constructs.

In some of his works, geometric volumes rendered in oil at low contrast, encircle figures such as “El Rey Momo”, a carnival character sporting a dildic nose, or a reclining figure, in a posture reminiscent of Goya’s nudes, meticulously overlaid with tarot imagery, surrounded by geometric planes that bring to mind mountains, panels in a set, in the taciturn light of the liminal and the unpredictable…

Diego Singh, 2025

Mar Pérez (b. Salta 1983, Argentina.)
He studied arts at the National University of Córdoba. Since then, Pérez began a sustained career in painting and his work can be seen in multiple individual and group exhibitions.

Simultaneously he creates multidisciplinary pieces from individual and collective practice, investigating and carries out strong work in theater from different roles, mainly from scriptwriting and direction, as well as acting, film production and casting. His performance in “Terminal Norte” (2021), a recent film production by Lucrecia Martel, stands out. Pérez is a musician and goes under the name Dptculos. He was part of the “La San Luis” theater company and the musical groups “Chinha”, “El Distancia Amarelo” and “Whiskey”.

He is a member of “Loro”, an artist duo with Mario Llullaillaco. He participated with Remota in ARCOmadrid 2024, along with Roxana Ramos and received the award for the best stand in the Opening section of the fair. Pérez currently lives in Salta, Argentina.
