Review : Salar Que Sangra

Review : Salar Que Sangra

South American artist Elisa Garcia de la Huerta is a leading figure in the New York arts scene.  Elisa is a co-leader of the collective !Go Push Pops!  Works include, photography, multimedia installations, public posters and fiber art. 

Elisa’s style is often neon and vibrant while retaining a softness.  The photo Santa Sangre - Sacred Blood portrays a blood-stained figure relaxing in a field of wild flowers.  The natural setting removes the physical and psychological structures of patriarchy.  The scene is beautiful and seeks to undo the shame done to women.  It is an image that mass media has spent decades hiding.  

Elisa’s style is always calm and welcoming, never politically divisive like gender art of the past.  The work does less to challenge or divide others, and more to invite viewers to see beauty in difference.  All of Elisa’s work has a spiritual nature, as if some timeless feminine shaman was practicing healing through art and helping to expand beliefs around gender.

Elisa’s work is always assertive and engaging.  Investigate more of their work on their website, and here on SharksEatMeat.
