Mariane Ibrahim is pleased to announce the representation of Sol Kordich. To celebrate the new representation, the gallery will unveil in Chicago, Coming back to the one, a solo exhibition by Berlin-based, Argentinian artist.
Building upon the well-trodden ground of process-based abstraction, Kordich’s practice employs gesture and color as mediators between two vernaculars: one native to the canvas and another to time itself. Painting for Kordich is a performative process, a biographic choreography that engages her entire body in rhythmic creation. Her marks are loose, open, and characterized by a nonchalance that belies the intention and rhythmic focus of their author. Kordich’s picture planes exude a dense network of strokes and colors that intimate a nascent simmer of tension at each knotty juncture of paint.
Having originally studied architecture, Kordich’s work is perhaps best summed up as employing one of the most basic, yet difficult, things for any building to achieve: a question of how space is responsible for psychological responses. Coupled with a rigorous journaling practice, Kordich untangles her own musings about the universe, the self, and the invisible forces that shape our existence. Abstraction becomes a means to articulate these explorations without losing the sense of indeterminacy native to a thought’s earliest state of development. In doing so, she forges a symbiotic relationship between words and abstraction, transcending verbal limitations.
About Sol Kordich:
Sol Kordich (Argentina, 1995) is an artist based in Berlin whose compositions exude sophistication and elegance, marked by a meticulous layering that imbues the canvas with depth and luminosity.
Within the intricate layers of color lie fragments of poetry, song lyrics, and notation, echoing the unseen yet profound aspects of human experience. This hidden complexity serves as a testament to the artist's belief in the significance of both the visible and the unseen.
For Kordich, painting is a performative process, a biographic choreography that engages her entire body in a rhythmic flow of creation. Her work epitomizes a profound exploration of self and existence, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of introspection and contemplation through her expressive brushstrokes.
Through a synthesis of her literary rigor and aesthetic sentiment, Kordich employs abstraction as a medium to connect physicality to the inner musings of the human psyche. Chaos converges into harmony through the interplay of tempo and color in her works, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of discovery and enlightenment through the language of abstraction.
