Dolors Molas: Sismografies

The Castell de Vila-Seca hosts the exhibition by Dolors Molas: Sismografies. On this occa­sion, the Kies Space hosts works by a local artist, Dolors Molas. This “Vi­la-secana”, who first showed her art in 1988, now returns home to pro­pose a dialogue that engages with big questions that arise only from the deepest, most intimate reflection.

In this exhibition, Dolors Molas suggests a series of mysteries through works imbued with an almost lyrical abstraction and in which the colours of the Medi­terranean – ochres, browns, yellows but, above all, blues – reveal cracks and opens that invite us to give free rein our imagination in an unresolved continuum. In these works, all kinds of enigmas seek to generate new sensations.

Rich in Mediterranean colour, rooted in the land and the sea, in the cracks in landscapes and in life, the works in this exhibition, stripped of all acces­sory elements, suggest the wound as the path to healing. No matter if the crack affects the skin, the state of mind, a sea too inclined to despatch souls in search of new horizons or a planet forced to submit, day after day, to the impacts of a world that is constantly unbalanced.

Paintings inspired by the mysteries hidden in their pictorial cracks. View­ing them close-up, we discover that the possibilities which unfold before us are infinite… almost unfathomable.

ABOUT DOLORS MOLAS

Born in Vila-seca, in her work, Dolors Molas focuses on painting, audiovisual projects, net.art, curatorship and graphic publications.

Her artistic career began with solo exhibitions in the late-1980s in collaboration with the so-called Roda d’Art (“Wheel of Art”), a series of travelling shows, the first of which took place in her hometown.

In the early-1990s, she worked as the curator of the Groc Blau group, which presented exhibitions in Bilbao, Madrid and other cities and towns in Spain and Catalonia.

The 2000s saw her engaging with digital art and net.art, collaborating with Àngel Pomerol on several works and taking part in collective exhibitions.

Dolors Molas quietly combines her teaching work with painting. Now, after years without showing her art, she has returned with the exhibition “Escletxes i radiacions” [“Cracks and Radiations”] at the Galeria Personal in Tarragona, followed by this show in her hometown.
