Sol Kordich at Mariane Ibrahim

 



So much thought and skill has gone into these  ambitious pieces.




Coming Back to the One, 2024,  75 x 77


A cosmic theme presented by swirling, virtuosic brush work.





It’s just that it makes me feel nothing.


Sensual - but not compelling 
Serious but not profound
Energetic but not powerful
Appealing but not beautiful 

This is an aesthetic perhaps better realized with died fabric rather than paint.
The images don’t really seem appropriate for flat, rectangular surfaces,
and the artist seems to be pulling yarn rather that attaching herself to a canvas through the tip of a paint laden brush.

Sol Kordich (b.  Buenos Aires, 1995) was trained as an architect, and the impersonality here would fit better in the lobby of a glistening new hi-rise than in the more personal space of an apartment.
