Exhibition poster featuring the work Exploración de las fuentes del río Orinoco (Exploration of the Orinoco River's Headwaters), 1959, by Remedios Varo, published in connection with the exhibition of the surrealist, Spanish-Mexican painter Remedios Varo (Sep. 18). Remedios Varo, who declared that "the world of dreams and the real world are one and the same," attempted in an almost alchemical manner to combine widely disparate techniques, fantasies, and ideas in her paintings, which have an enigmatic, cinematic character and often incorporate hybrid creatures.
She utilized the chance-based processes of surrealism but was simultaneously incredibly precise, meticulous, and classical in her painterly expression and in her color palette, which has clear references to Italian painting from the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance.
In Exploración de las fuentes del río Orinoco, the traveler's arrival at the river's source is accompanied by a flood created by the painting's own medium. The work revolves around the narrative endeavor to find an inexhaustible source of water.
