Description: Elements of Surrealism suffuse the art of contemporary Argentine artist Catalina Chervin.In this work from her "Images" series, Argentine artist Catalina Chervin uses a wash for the slightest hint of color then builds her drawing upon it. Assiduous in her selection of quality materials, Chervin chooses a specific type of paper for each work; the paper here is Waterford with a soft, articulated edge. View detail of this drawing. Bochum Museum director Sepp Hiekisch-Picard writes: "Visible reality, to be measured with the eyes, is but a minimal part of the reality of the universe and human existence. Man is also a chemical, mineral being--he is both becoming and dying at the same time... Catalina Chervin creates models of contemplation for an authentic and fundamental vision of man's being." Catalina Chervin is represented in museum collections in the USA, South America, and Europe including: Brooklyn Museum (New York), Princeton University Museum (New Jersey), British Museum (London) Albertina (Vienna), Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (Buenos Aires) and Bochum Museum (Germany).
