The Museo de la Isla in Cozumel hosts Dulce y Amargo
In May and June 2008, Jackie Sleper’s artworks will be exhibited at the Museo de la Isla in Cozumel in a show curated by Matty Roca
(Florence - Italy, 30 April 2008) - From the 9th of May to the 20th June 2008, the Museo de la Isla in Cozumel will host "Dulce y Amargo", the exhibition of Jackie Sleper's artworks inspired by, and dedicated to, Mexico and to Frida Kahlo. Cozumel is the second Mexican location for her "Dulce y Amargo" exhibition, which forms part of the series of exhibitions that the famous Dutch artist will be showing in Mexico in 2008 and 2009, all being curated by Matty Roca, art historian and art critic. After the success of the first exhibition in Chetumal, David Domínguez Povedano, General Director of the Museo de la Isla in Cozumel has announced that there is great interest in the forthcoming event.
Jackie Sleper has always been fascinated by Mexico and Frida Kahlo, for whom she has a profound admiration. In 2005, she received an invitation from Matty Roca to depict her vision of Mexico. Over the course of two years Jackie Sleper, together with her husband and children, spent many months in the country, where she created many of her works. Jackie says: “Matty Roca became a dear friend. She showed me Mexico. I took in everything around me, spoke with lots of people and, especially, got a sense of the country".
Her modern works are at times reminiscent of Rivera, Orozco, Tamayo and Pollock. Jackie Sleper assumes absolute freedom in applying various techniques and introducing experimental elements: her work is characterised by combinations of photography and painting, and the use of mixed media. In addition to paintings, Jackie creates objects that incorporate a variety of multiple materials, which she transforms into wholly new and surprising concepts.
Jackie Sleper's work Modestia, was exhibited during La Biennale di Venezia, at Open 2007. She won the 1st prize for “Sculpture and Installation” at the Florence Biennale 2007.
