María Berrío

Press release

‘Never before has Berrío drawn us so close, invested her figures with this physical power that projects out and scrambles our sensory field.’ –Siddhartha Mitter

The End of Ritual depicts moments of disquiet articulated within densely populated interiors, spaces where the old world meets the new and a restless dynamic unfolds between performers and spectators in and out of the frame.

The exhibition is accompanied by a publication featuring new writing on the artist by Siddhartha Mitter, who comments, ‘Never before has Berrío drawn us so close, invested her figures with this physical power that projects out and scrambles our sensory field. It’s almost aggressive – an interpellation. The tumult on canvas proceeds from a compositional method but addresses the tumult of the world.’
