Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:BLP sources Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox artist Elizabeth Aro (born 1961) is an Argentine interdisciplinary artist from Buenos Aires. Aro uses fabric to create large-scale site-specific installations, and also uses photographs, drawings, and videos in her exhibitions. Many of her works relate to the perception of space and how individuals define home or where they are from.

Biography

Aro attended the National School of Fine Arts Prilidiano Pueyrredón and the Universidad Nacional de las Artes (UNA), where she majored in art history. Aro was based in Spain for fifteen years and now lives and works in Milan, Italy, though she had been a resident artist at galleries throughout Europe. Many of her pieces are installations that change the narrative of the original work or change the viewer's perception of space. For example, she uses fabric to make roots appear to be going into the space, changing the viewer's perception. Aro's artwork, the "Red Net" series, was used as an example of her time as a migrant outside of Argentina, and to relate and connect to people who have lived in similar conditions. Aro has created many works relating to immigration and opened an exhibition in Spain that featured photographs of immigrants in streets. Much of Aro's work is focused on relationships to home and the effect of relocation upon a person. Aro finds the breaking of gender stereotypes to be important work. She wants to see a change in the view of women as submissive to men, and to break away from the cultural roles men and women often fall into.

Artworks

Danza Nocturna, 2022

The installation consists of an old parachute and leaves made with precious jacquard velvet. Velvet is a symbol of luxury and elegance and the leaf shape that Aro gave to the velvet recalls the Amazon rainforest, they are majestic as nature must be, but the color used, black and gray, symbolizes climate change, recalling those images of environments devastated by recent ecological disasters. The heaviness of the dark velvet leaves, in contrast with the lightness of the parachute, create an effect of drama and disquiet. The artwork suggests that despite our indifference, Nature resists and continues to dance and she reminds us that despite the dark times, we too can continue to dance.

The fragility of hugs or Raíz de Luz, 2020

Necklace, untreated natural bronze color, CAD design, prototyping with a 3D printer, hand-hammered surfaces alternating with glossy areas and engraved areas 24 × 15 cm.

Henry Clew's Cast, 2016

In this art piece, Aro adds brocade fabric to a sculpture by Henry Clew. Aro uses the fabric to make the male subject of the sculpture look to be holding a rope that leads to young children in the base of the sculpture. This art piece is meant to change the narrative of an extant art piece by adding to it in some impermanent way. Before the addition of the fabric, the sculpture had the young children reaching up to the man. With the addition of the fabric, it looks as though the main figure is offering a way for the children to ride up to him.

Santa Sangre, 2015

In this piece, Aro uses brocade fabric to create what appears to be reddish-brown roots coming out of a door. This gives the appearance of nature coming indoors and taking over the space. This can be seen through the size of the roots in relation to the size of the room. With the positioning of the fabric piece, it also appears as though the roots are continuing to grow and spread throughout the space.

Mundo, 2016

This piece, which is made of layered felt, is a large, white sphere that is meant to represent the world falling apart. The landmasses begin to fall south and merge together.

Estudio de Nubes, 2014-2015

Th artwork, which consists of fifty-six pencil drawings of clouds, which the artist uses as a way to demonstrate time and memory. Each column follows one part of the sky as it changes. The artist finds time and memory to be an integral part of her life, and associates time and memory with her experience of moving from one country to another.

Ulivo, 2016

The piece consists of brocade fabric and cotton sewn together. This art piece is a sculpture in the shape of a white tree. It is meant to symbolize life and the circle of life. The roots at the bottom of the piece symbolize the tree's connection to the underworld. The high-reaching branches demonstrate the tree's connection to the heavens or the celestial sphere. This art installation piece often dominates the space it occupies.
