āĀ«suddenly I felt the river in meĀ»ā
Ā Carolina Raquel Antich
Lynch Tham Gallery, 175 Rivington St., NYC
featuring porcelain artworks and a series of canvases, the exhibition is a purview of Antichās longtime fascination with childhood. Antich recently embraced a sculptural extension of her paintings, magnifying the delicateness and fragility of her subjects and the situations they are involved in. While the artistās paintings often evoke an allegorical worldview, depicting children in a territory where there is no fear, a free zone full of nuances and beauty, the sculptural work brings to the fore spaces of protection and refuge, while underscoring the autistic condition of her subjects in their extreme mode of concentration.
