ENTRE LA IMAGEN Y EL OBJETO ACERCA DE LA OBRA DE CAROLINA ANTONIADIS
por Philippe Cyroulnik
Al final de Citizen de Orson Wells, una cajita de vidrio cae de la mano inanimada del heroe y sobre el paisaje de esos ensuenios kitsch cae la nieve que marca el fin de los suenios que no volveran mas. Es un poco el equivalente de los que sugieren las obras de Carolina Antoniadis. Sus obras banian en la luz tenue de una melancolia que da forma a las figuras, los objetos y los motivos de un mundo perdido. Sus estallidos, sus colores y sus formas son los ecos de una Arcadia contemporanea cuya heroina habria sido expulsada. Suenios de modernidad y objetos de pacotilla estructuran el universo de su obra. No es dificil de ver en su pintura la rearticulacion del lenguaje pop, el cual encuentra en la cultura popular y en los iconos de nuestra cotidianeidad la materia prima de su trabajo. Pero vale recordar la deuda que ella reivindica hacia Matisse, por su apetencia a formalizar las figuras, y hacia Klimt, por su capacidad a disolver la figura en el motivo decorativo y viceversa. Y considerando todos estos elementos, no podemos mas que subrayar el lugar atipico y muy solido en la escena artistic aargentina de esta obra que, en los cuadros de la vida moderna que la artista nos ofrece, hace surgir la tragica realidad de un munto donde la muerte captura lo vivo. Carolina Antoniadis sobresale en el arte de reciclar imagenes anodinas y objetos insignificantes para producir figuras metonimicas de vidas y de alegrias muertas y fijadas, que el tiempo y el olvido habian recubierto de un velo para transferirlo sobre las cosas.
BETWEEN THE IMAGE AND THE OBJECT ABOUT THE WORK OF CAROLINA ANTONIADIS
by Philippe Cyroulnik
At the end of Orson Wells’ Citizen Kane, a small snow globe falls from the main character’s inanimate hand while snow falls over the landscape of his kitsch fantasies to the tolling of dreams that will no longer see the day. This is in a way what suggested by Carolina Antoniadis’ works. They cast a melancholic light that shapes the figures, objects and motifs of a lost world. Her lights, colors and shapes are the echo of a contemporary Arcadia where the heroine would have been banished. Dreams of modernity and shoddy objects structure the universe of her work. In her painting, it is easy to see the rearticulation of the pop language that is present in the popular culture and the icons of our everyday life, the raw materials of her work. However, what might be more interesting to point out is the way she is inspired by Matisse for his desire to formalize figures and by Klimt for his way to dissolving the figure inside the decorative motif and vice versa. Considering this, we cannot but underline the atypical and outstanding place that this work enjoys in the Argentina’s art scene: in the tableaux de la vie moderne that the artist offers us, her work highlights the tragic reality of a world where the dead comes to life. She stands out in the art of recycling the most anodyne images
and the most insignificant objects and to transform them in metonymic figures of lives and happy moments that passed away or were interrupted, and which time and oblivion had covered with a film to transfer them upon things.
