Francisco Sierra: Lunar Conveniences
The first solo show of Francisco Sierra (b.1977, Santiago de Chile) at von Bartha.
The exhibition features new paintings, including a triptych painting, and a new sculptural installation.
Chilean-Swiss artist Francisco Sierra is interested in the transformation of apparent clarity into something new and enigmatic and his work concerns the possibilities of representation and perception.
Self-taught visual artist, Sierra works within the realms of both photorealism and surrealism and focuses on the pitfalls of contemporary photographic reproduction and on the transformative potential of painting.
Lunar Conveniences showcases illusionistic painting creating spaces for a new narration while the dynamic sculptural installation with its bent and curved wooden forms pretending to function as furniture, alludes to his musical past.
