Gallery Artist, Alicia Viebrock makes her mark in Uruguay ahead of her residency in Tierra Garzón, with a debut exhibition— Metamorphosis.

Following her inaugural exhibition at Piero Atchugarry Gallery (Miami) in 2022, Alicia Viebrock, the young German abstract painter makes her mark in Uruguay ahead of her residency in Tierra Garzón, with a debut exhibition— Metamorphosis. The exhibition features a new series of gestural paintings that embody transformation and the emergence of new endeavors.

Viebrock’s intuitive use of high-flowing ink and acrylic pigments yield expansive colorfields on the surface that capture the primal realities of the artist in a state of metamorphosis. Exposing an unbridled symphony of drips, pours, splatters, and sprays of brightly colored gradients, each piece is the result of a concentrated outburst of energy emerging from chaos— the painting itself a relic of the action. The energetic release transforms the gallery space into a dynamic palette, where each piece contributes to a harmonious composition that transcends the boundaries between individual pieces and the collective whole.

The juxtaposition of large-scale paintings and smaller works on linen offers a nuanced exploration of the artist’s distinct states of consciousness. The visually explosive nature of the larger pieces, such as in “Herr Lambrusco”, 2023 contrasts with the control displayed in the smaller work “Dolci y”, 2023, showcasing the artist's versatile collaboration with material and emotion. As viewers immerse themselves in Viebrock’s Metamorphosis each stroke and color selection unfolds as an experience, beckoning to be observed and embraced, serving as a testament to the artist's ability to transmute chaos into a mesmerizing and unified visual narrative.
