SPIRIT U ALL
Shertise Solano
03.09.2022 - 30.10.2 022

Fall 2022, 38CC presented the solo exhibition Spirit U All by multimedia artist Shertise Solano. In a comprehensive installation she takes you into her magical universe. The work of Solano - born and raised in Rotterdam and of Antillean descent - is very personal: the various cultural influences, personal conflicts and traumas that have shaped her as a person and artist have been incorporated into it. With her monumental collages, smaller works and videos, the artist transforms the exhibition space of 38CC into an intimate space populated by mystical figures: half human, half animal, with penetrating eyes and outstretched claws, in convincing black, white and red. They are creatures that live within her, whom she came to know when her gaze was forced to turn inward. She translates her dreams and visions into her work, resulting in a recognizable and very personal visual language: raw, energetic and exciting. With her latest work, she completed her Master of Fine Arts summa cum laude at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam in 2022.
