About this artwork
‘Me Again’
I who wanted to talk
of a century inside the web
that is always my poem-in-progress,
have found only myself wherever I looked
and missed the real happening.
With wary good faith
I opened myself to the wind: the lockers,
clothes-closets, graveyards
the calendar months of the year,
and in every opening crevice
my face looked back at me.
The more bored I became
with my unacceptable person,
the more I returned to the theme of my person;…
worst of all,
I kept painting myself to myself
in the midst of a happening.
What an idiot (I said to myself
a thousand times over) to perfect all that craft
of description and describe only myself,
as though I had nothing to show but my head,
nothing better to tell than the mistakes of a lifetime.
-Pablo Neruda (excerpt ‘Fin de mundo’ / ‘World’s End’ 1969)

« 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.
