About this artwork
Abstract painting collage works inspired by Marguerite Duras’ novella 'The Lover' (L’Amant) – a sparse, disjointed, dreamy, almost hallucinatory minimal tale of love and cruelty. Of longing, absence, primitive need, and dislocation. The novel speaks to the language of dreams, the language of recollections.
The title of the series, 'La Petite Mort' (Little Death) – refers to the French expression meaning "the brief loss or weakening of consciousness."… Modern usage refers specifically to "the sensation of post orgasm as likened to death.” More widely, it can refer to the spiritual release that comes with orgasm or to a short period of melancholy or transcendence as a result of the expenditure of the "life force." Literary critic Roland Barthes spoke of 'la petite mort' as the chief objective of reading literature, the feeling one should get when experiencing any great literature.
Unframed. Acrylic and Vintage Book on Acid-Free heavy weight linen finish French paper (400 g/m²).

« In the end, ambiguity is always the theme I seem to return to. Searching for something imperceptible. For something haunting in the work, perhaps in a place, maybe in the other, but mostly, I imagine, in myself. »
Cynthia Grow is a passionate painter living between the US and Spain. Her works have featured in prestigious prizes, publications and exhibitions across both countries, and she has participated in residencies throughout Europe. Working in series, she alternates between two seemingly incongruous yet similar veins: paintings on wood panels and text-based works on paper. She harnesses the same sources of inspiration for both of them: language and memory, and achieves an overall aesthetic signature marked by strong senses of mood, poetry and atmosphere.
