SHAPE SHIFTERS
SHAPE SHIFTERS
Animation for my good friend Lisa Gingles from some of his fantastic sculptures from his last exhibition “Shape shifters”.
“Lisa Gingles (1974) is a Northern Irish artist based in Valencia since1998. Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Ulster, she has participated in many artistic residencies worldwide and has exhibited her work both in Spain and internationally in prestigious spaces such as the MUVIM, the Centre for Contemporary Culture of Carmen or the Ulster Museum in Belfast.
Her art, ultimately, reflects her own life journey: a heterogeneous path that questions the nature of identity and transformation. In this exhibition, Gingles explores how, by wearing animal masks, we access the primal forces that shape our identities and how we become those creatures, embodying their instincts,strengths, and weaknesses.
This transformation reveals the complex interplay between our true selves and the personas we project ,confronting us with the blurred line between the human and the animal, as well as the masks we wear in our daily lives.”
