In “Black Song & Witchcrafts”, Miss Van (France) & Victor Castllo
> (Chile)
> readily unfold their recognized compatible iconographies in a
> pictorial
> exercise of intersecting ideas, approaching from its perspective
> personal
> subjects like seduction, desire, enchantment, the game and infantile
> cruelty. The title of the exhibition tries to unite both proposals
> and at
> the same time to allude to the Spanish culture, superstition and
> witchcraft
> like basic context, as if one, they were dark invocations of common
> ghosts.
> The exhibition will be formed mainly of paintings and drawings, in
> addition
> to two small installations.
>
> The “Poupees” of Miss Van, always surrounded in sensational
> atmospheres,
> embody the surrounding energies of the loving spell that they
> seduce and
> catch.
> All are portrayed in mystical scenarios, between meditation and
> liberation
> of evil, introspection and exorcism.
> Through their closed eyes, we enter into the private worlds of each,
> reflecting on their dark side and feminine fragility.
>
> Victor Castillo shows his side to us from a mixture of classic
> painting and
> comic,
> to its loaded infantile personages of a species of macabre joy and
> seduced
> by the unscrupulous pleasure of the destruction game. At the same
> time he
> also makes reference to contemporary realities and the new generations
> stimulated by the increasing bombardment by the media.
