The Work of Tania Blanco

 We were recently turned onto the work of Valencia, Spain born, now switching time between Paris and Valencia artist, Tania Blanco. The series in particular, SLEEP-DRUNK VADEMECUM, spread over several years of focusing on medical instruments, high precision techonology, scientific devices, anatomical models, clandestine laboratories, was a favorite.

Blanco says of the series, "The bizarre represented objects reflect a mixture of past and future, and an ambiguous clinical atmosphere flows in them. On many of these painted surfaces, a soft cool-cold gradient isolates the represented elements and gives a non-gravitational character to the compositions. The project is based on a choral visual basis. The groups of images altogether represent the discourse, giving great importance to the different parts that give sense to the work as a whole."(via : juxtapose)
