The grandest narratives are often impossible to articulate; Cristina Gamón’s abstraction emerges from a desire to depict that which is essential, regardless of reference or imagery. The true work resides in between the restless abstraction and the pareidolic eye, in the imagined eventuality, the illusory movement.

The imagination of paradise is ever-shifting; once rolling pastoral hills, then bounteous rainforests, now white sand beaches. Eventually, the pilgrims settled the New World, the age of conquests ended, the cartographic puzzle completed, and paradise was accepted to be a mythological place. But Gamón reminds us of the yet-to-be-known. While homogeneity may be an inevitability, and one day seems to blend into the next, the line between the known and unknown is ever present. These “Earthly Delights” may appear close enough for a single touch to ripple through its surface, but what faces us is in reality the transparent verso; another universe lies in wait on the other side.
