Presentation Details
Deli Gallery presents a solo show of new works by Alina Perez. Building up lush layers of charcoal and pastel on paper, Perez uses drawing as a tool of identity and remembrance. Her intimate figurative tableaux emerge from her own past experiences and traumas, as well as weaving more speculative narratives. “What if you could draw a memory that you wish you had?,” she asks. The presentation at Independent follows Perez’s dual exhibition with Arel Lisette at the gallery’s New York location, Not Dark Yet (February 24-March 25, 2023), an exploration of memory and the “personal hauntings” that reverberate in the present.
