Details
Marela Zacarías creates painted sculptures of undulating forms as if it were fabric, bodies filled with movement and expressive quality. Zacarías’ painterly style is unexpected and enchanting. Through their colorful elegant presence, her works invite exploration and curiosity. Working with a labor- and research-intensive process, Marela Zacarías molds window screen and plaster to fabricate her works. The sculptures’ surfaces are covered by geometric abstractions––shapes and patterns borne from the artist’s study of the history and specifics of the site of work.
Zacarías has held solo exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum, Sapar Contemporary, Praxis Gallery, the National Arts Club, and Art at Viacom in New York; at MadArt Studio in Seattle, WA; at Wasserman Projects, Detroit, the Brattleboro Museum, Vermont and Galería Alterna in Mexico City and she has completed large-scale permanent site-specific commissions around the world.
