N2 Gallery is proud to present -
“Ingemisco, tamquam reus, culpa rubet vultus meus; supplicanti parce, Deus” the first solo show from the duo female collective Crajes to be held in Barcelona. The title of the exhibition has been inspired by the written passage taken from the “Dies irae” poem.
Taking Justine and Juliette from Marques de Sade as a starting point, this new collection from Crajes is a powerful series of oil paintings and ink works on paper. The strength of their collection is in every detail, the execution and the technique are wrapped in a halo of sensuality, fragility and perversity that stand together without being disconnected.
When creating a strange climate which is full of beauty and disturbing images a crevasse appears in the analysis of human nature and how it has been melded along with the preset canons by individuals.
Following the well-known duality in their work, one can endow this new exhibition with a level of maturity already present in their previous work entitled “Virgins of Perverseness” which were exhibited in Manila.
“Ingemisco, tamquam reus, culpa rubet vultus meus; supplicanti parce, Deus” has been produced after months of confinement in their studio working on this powerful new collection, Crajes honestly states "it has been the most difficult exhibition we have created up to this point in our artistic career. We have been through many frames of mind during the production of these works and we feel there is a lot of each of us in the works. It has been a truly moving experience”.
Crajes offers us a rare opportunity to view such a complete collection of works in their hometown of Barcelona.
