FRESH FACES IN ART: EIGHT LA ARTISTS YOU SHOULD KNOW

ESMERALDA MONTES The moment when character transfiguration outgrows its status as a curiosity, Esmeralda Montes’ “Ekaterina” steps through the chimerical paintpools, possessing the cult interests of believer and non-comformist, armless and freed from mimesis reduced to the most basic neglected elements. Montes’ paintings are ‘figurescapes’ shaking up theories of mythical superstitions, in which ersatz demigods and occasional hermaphrodites are thrown into the muddle while they await their christening. Once named, nothing really happens in this accidental narrative. Iconic in their own right, the statuettes have been provided room in this agitated space except they know of how to live in it.
