VENUS ATÓMICA (ATOMIC VENUS) is Nicole Chaput’s first solo exhibition in the gallery. She presents a series of paintings and soft sculptures that create speculative bodies of female anatomy. Through a subtle balance between the fragmentation and assembly of plastic processes—such as surgical sewing, the fluidity and texture of oil paint, and the use of luxury prosthetic accessories—the artist puts forward body mutations in dialogue with the objectification and representation of female bodies and narratives in western Art History. As though it were a response to evolutionary changes, these femme bodies deform, adapting  to hostile atmospheres. Having her works coexist in an environment that oscillates between mystical temple, clinical space, and glamorous zero-gravity, Nicole Chaput imagines how the Anatomical Venuses of the Baroque and prehistoric Venus Impudiques might become “Atomic” through the appropriation of their visual imaginary to create new technologies of representation from the pictorial tradition;  transforming elements of both the body and the space containing it—all in an extravagant explosion of distant and intimidating temporality. The exhibition is accompanied by a curatorial text written by Roselin Rodriguez Espinosa.
