solo exhibition by Mexican artist Astrid Sommer. Large, unframed canvases, freshly taken down from the walls of her studio to journey to Spain and be displayed. As is customary of this painter, the pieces embody the very essence of <em>horror vacui<\/em>. A multitude of symbols, brushstrokes, and paint drips executed with the impulsiveness that defines her. She requires no preliminary sketches, for it is passion that drives her gestures, and a vital optimism revealed through the vibrant, luminous, and bold colors so distinctive of this artist. On this occasion, more than ever, she seeks to champion the use of what she calls \u201ccolor in freedom.\u201d Astrid further describes her work as \u201ca visual rebellion against the aesthetics of silence\u201d and \u201ca call to reclaim the right to feel and to see in color.\u201d For this reason, she explains, \u201cthe fabrics, freed from their frames, hang like banners of the cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>STROMATOGRAPHIES. Veiled realities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The vocable <em>Stromata<\/em>, derived from the Greek <em>stroma<\/em> (\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1), meaning warp, woven fabric, or miscellany, was first employed by Clement of Alexandria in his work bearing the same title. In it, he reflects upon the significance of the Mosaic tradition as a foundation for bearing witness to the Christian faith\u2014one rooted in solid and skillfully interwoven principles\u2014responding not only to the challenges posed by philosophers and sages opposed to that faith, but also guiding the disciple toward the purest essence of belief. The <em>Stromata<\/em>, he tells us, are designed to artfully conceal the seeds of gnosis. It is an endeavor to attain truth, for just as the hunter secures his prey only after searching, tracking, and following its trail, truth is all the sweeter when won through effort. The <em>Stromata<\/em> veil the truth from those inclined to contradict all things. That \u201cstubborn reality,\u201d resistant to conjecture, to falsifiable theories, to the metaphysics of deduced truths, can only be tamed upon the loom of warp and weft, weaving and unweaving the manifold ways of configuring the obverse and reverse in the <em>symplok<\/em><em>\u00e9<\/em> of all things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Taking advantage of the presence in the gallery of Astrid Sommer\u2019s new collection of painted canvases, it struck me as no coincidence the analogy between the veiling of faith before the sophists in Saint Clement\u2019s <em>stromatic<\/em> discourse and the veiled personal cosmos within Astrid\u2019s abstraction. In the works of this Mexican artist, I perceive a kind of\u2014if I may be permitted the neologism\u2014<em>stromatographies<\/em>, considering that the construction, format, and teleological intent of her painting, in her own words, seek to challenge the sensory apathy of the contemporary world\u2014if we translate apathy as a form of artistic agnosticism. Accepting this analogy, we are thus confronted with a pictorial configuration that proposes a magical interplay of concealment of \u201cspiritual\u201d realities from within her particular cosmos. What she brings to the gallery is a collection of abstract pieces, a collective act of color, a visual choreography of interwoven hues and tones, with tangible references to the popular arts of the master weavers of Mexican <em>huipiles<\/em> and preserved ancestral traditions\u2014traditions that employ as their raw materials artisanal patience and the natural products of their environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In these rendered <em>stromatographies<\/em>, Sommer affirms that she does not paint recognizable forms\u2014she invokes sensations. But then, why does Astrid, in a manner veiled within abstraction, allow traces of childhood to seep through, of joyful disorder, of the fearless intensity of red, of blue without justification, of yellow that seeks no permission and instead invites unrestrained feeling, vision without neutrality, a reclamation of color\u2019s transformative power\u2014its rightful place in the everyday, its capacity to articulate what words have long silenced? Naturally, the answer can only be discerned in direct encounter with the canvas. It is there that the artist\u2019s spiritual cosmos becomes <em>transubstantiated<\/em>; there, her craft transcends the limits of technique; there, the <em>nematologies<\/em> of her mind are transfigured upon the woven surface\u2014hidden behind them are the truths of a reality unspeakable, imperfect, unpresentable as a mirror of the self\u2014veiled, in a word: abstract.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But is liberal art truly liberating in any concrete sense? Nowadays, perhaps, it offers some relief. The fine arts, or liberal arts\u2014<em>not<\/em> liberating arts, as is well known\u2014stand in contrast to the so-called useful arts, whose essential purpose lies in the production or acquisition of goods or services external to themselves. The liberal arts have not enjoyed the same fortune as, let us say, the arts of fishing, which have always served to capture the finest fish with precision, or the arts of war, which aim at devising the most effective means of annihilating the enemy. These are arts with a goal, with utility as their telos. By contrast, the liberal arts are not subordinated to anything beyond themselves. It was, once again, Kantian idealism that, in <em>The Critique of the Power of Judgment<\/em> (1790), attempted a redefinition of the liberal arts through the lens of purposiveness, encapsulated in the maxim <em>Ars Gratia Artis<\/em>\u2014art for art\u2019s sake\u2014deducing that the art of the liberal arts, such as painting, sculpture, and music, is directed toward an end, yet a most peculiar one: an <em>end without an end<\/em>. A distinguished pleonasm that has endured nearly to the present day, albeit with consequences far from idealistic\u2014consequences upon which Baumgarten erected his <em>Aesthetica<\/em> in 1750. He would call it <em>lower gnoseology<\/em>, for it deals with sensible knowledge, whereas <em>higher gnoseology<\/em> pertains to rational or logical understanding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yet perhaps we ought to consider, contrary to what has been previously stated, that the liberal arts may offer an ontology\u2014a mode of being\u2014that can, in and of itself, constitute a form of useful finality from a <em>noetological<\/em> perspective. In this light, the notion of art as purposeless might unexpectedly approach the necessity of ends, as found in the most rigorous sciences\u2014those sometimes referred to as <em>alpha-operatory<\/em>\u2014that is, artistic works that have succeeded in segregating from within themselves the operative subjects who created them, thereby forming a synthetic identity of their own. Such works approach the morphologies that define reality, aligning themselves with the productions of inorganic Nature. Upon this new morphology\u2014proper to matter in its degree of artistic materiality\u2014gains meaning the presence of other sensibilities, participating in the play of <em>useful art<\/em>, striving to share those realities obscured by genius within abstraction, as in the case of Astrid Sommer. Ultimately, these are liberal artworks that become useful for deepening our simple understanding of things, whether born from contemporary artists who embrace the freedom of abstraction, or from humble artisans who meticulously craft painted textiles with <em>cochineal<\/em> drawn from the <em>nopal<\/em> cactus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regarding the adjectives Astrid Sommer places in the margins as titles for her works, one might say that they belong to a distinct class of semantic relations between the name and the named. <em>Joyful<\/em>, <em>hopeful<\/em>, <em>impulsive<\/em>, or <em>bold<\/em> seem to me to be universal qualifiers that, rather than defining the piece, serve to assist its perception\u2014surrounding it with a preferred emotional climate conducive to ambient enjoyment. In doing so, they offer a gentle counterpoint to the overwhelming improvisation emanating from the striking <em>stromatic<\/em> outcomes. It is, perhaps, something akin to <em>A Love Supreme<\/em>, the thematic phrase John Coltrane assigned to his most abstract and spiritual composition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Roberto Ballesteros<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Curator<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"link64_adl_tabid\" style=\"display: none;\" data-url=\"http:\/\/www.stoagallery.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=3489&amp;action=edit&amp;lang=es\">64<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"  style=\"height: 20px\" ><span\n\t\t\tclass=\"vc_empty_space_inner\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"empty_space_image\"  ><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<div id=\"tab-1435943390254-5-1fcb5-9365\" class=\"tab-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div      class=\"vc_row wpb_row section vc_row-fluid vc_inner \" style=' text-align:left;'><div class=\" full_section_inner clearfix\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stoagallery.com\/en\/astrid-sommer\/\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow_3d  vc_box_border_grey\"><span class=\"vc_box_shadow_3d_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"vc_single_image-img \" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoagallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ASTRID-SOMMER-235x165.jpg\" width=\"235\" height=\"165\" alt=\"ASTRID-SOMMER\" title=\"ASTRID-SOMMER\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"custom_font_holder\" style=\"font-family: arial;
