Error de Lua: Error interno: El intérprete ha finalizado con la señal "-129". Susana Noriega (Ciudad de México, 1952) es una pintora mexicana contemporánea, de estilo personal y vanguardista, inscrita en los movimientos del expresionismo abstracto y el surrealismo, y vinculada en su madurez con el arte marginal, el género de dibujo y pintura que suelen cultivar los artistas autodidacticas o naíf, los cuales tienen poco o ningún contacto con las escuelas o instituciones dominantes de pintura. El arte marginal a menudo expresa estados de ánimo extremos, ideas no convencionales o elaborados mundos fantásticos.

Biografía

A muy corta edad descubrió sus aptitudes e inclinaciones por las artes plásticas. From a very early age she discovered her skills for and leanings toward the plastic arts. As a teenager she took part in various contests, and in 1971 her artistic interests led her to attend the workshops of great masters, such as Raúl Anguiano, Rodolfo Nieto, Luis Velasco, Guillermo Zapfe, and Pascual Santillán.[1]

Although at the same time she studied advertising and psychology, she recognized herself as a painter, and she devoted most of her time to pursuing this activity.

Techniques and style

She has made incursions into many techniques: engraving and wood carving; paper engraving; graphic projects for sculpture, as well as painting with charcoal, pigments with oil or water, resins, marble powder, sand and soil, all of them on canvas, wood, clay, stone and paper.

She has specialized in handling graphite and charcoal on paper, as well as mixed techniques with pigments and water or oil, ground marble, sands and resins on canvas. She continuously renews herself, having developed a personal avant-garde style with some influence from abstract expressionism and surrealism. Outsider art is conventionally considered as one of the trends of informalism, but in this painter it is fused with neo-figurative art, an expressionist revival in modern form of figurative art. The term "neo-figurative" emerged in the 1960s in Mexico and Spain to represent a new form of figurative art.[2]

The greatest exponent of outsider art, the French Jean Dubuffet, influenced by Hans Prinzhorn's book Artistry of the Mentally Ill,[3] coined the term art brut, which may be approximately translated as "art in the rough", to refer to the art made by non-professionals, who do not follow aesthetic rules, such as social misfits, children, mentally troubled people, prisoners, etc.[4] Dubuffet gathered a collection of this kind of paintings, which includes works by the Swiss Aloïse Corbaz, the Spanish Alfredo Pirucha and the Swiss Adolf Wölfli.[5] Dubuffet aspired to create an art free from intellectual worries, in which elementary, childish and often cruel figures prevail.

In other words, it is an art created by people alien to the academic ways of artistic expression and traditional cultural values, who paint spontaneously to satisfy an inner need.

This pictoric genre may appear to be unsophisticated in conventional artistic terms, but it stands out because of its freshness, originality and lack of cultural restraints. It differs from pop art in the marginalization or young age of its creators, and from naïve art in the fact that the latter is made looking for public acknowledgment, while the underlying drive of outsider art is entirely intimist. The creativity of outsider art finds inspiration in the same drive as pop art.

Among the late 19th- and 20th-century masters who were interested in outsider art were the Russian Wassily Kandinsky, the Swiss-German Paul Klee, the Austrian Oskar Kokoschka, the French Henri Rousseau and the Spanish Antoni Tàpies.

Features

Some traits of Noriega's work in line with outsider art are:

  • Rough, spontaneous, grotesque and thoughtless quality, akin to the unconscious.
  • Images that reflect her inner world.
  • Use of onirist-like devices.
  • Rejection of the traditional approaches to composition (coherence, organization, homogeneity, etc.).
  • Great freedom in drawing and palette (earthy, pale or bright colors prevail depending on the mood of each painting).
  • Use of very different materials mixed with the paint (plaster, sand, cement, gravel), which add texture and relief.
  • Expressive effects through richly material, textured effects.
  • Recurring motifs developed during extended periods of time (flower vases, the human body, musical instruments, hearts, animals).[6]
