Ana Navas

  • Ana Navas’s practice deals with the vulgarization of modern art, understanding the term vulgar in its original sense of being appropriated by common people. She is interested in questioning the boundaries between low and high art and demonstrating how a modernist aesthetic language has permeated our daily lives in different ways. Her work takes the form of sculptures, paintings and videos made by using everyday objects and artisanal processes and deploying an acute sense of humor. She is interested in the contamination of forms, materials and references, materializing these inquiries into hybrid artworks. By embracing a DIY approach to artmaking which results in rather kitsch objects, she reclaims a space for production which has traditionally been used to disqualify the work of women artists.
