Hoy me siento un árbol cargado de lluvia que alguien sacude bruscamente.
-Elí Galindo

En un tiempo,
toda la sabana era río,
y era agua todo el cielo.

Un día
la luna se detendrá en el cielo
se secarán las flores
y, en la selva,
solo crecerán las piedras.

(Piaroa poetry)

THE NOOK at NARANJO 141 is pleased to present Palabras de Lluvia, a site-specific solo exhibition of new paintings by Mexico City-based, Venezuelan-born artist Daniel Adolfo (b.1990).

The collection of works in Palabras de Lluvia meditates on the mutability of water, how its bodies—oceanic and corporeal—can shift from sanguine to stormy in a single breath. Marking a departure from his usual format, the canvases vary from horizontal to vertical, sparse or adorned with chromium droplet-appliques, all installed at an equal horizon. Like the unpredictability of the rain or an introspective search into one's own emotional psyche, the viewer bears witness to a volatile range of currents— tamed within small canvases or let loose within larger ones—that mark an ever-changing temperament.
