Commemorating Two Decades of Mexico City's Art Week's Soaring Popularity
NARANJO 141, having opened their gallery in Santa Maria la Ribera close to a year ago, presents "Here, Elsewhere," a joint exhibition featuring the new paintings of Anna Kenneally and Lizzy Lunday, London-based and Brooklyn-based artists, respectively. Following their inclusion in a New York group show at Fredericks & Freiser Gallery in 2021, this exhibition marks their first formal showcase in Mexico. Themed around the virtue of being present and grappling with the lack of familiarity with a new city, the works explore the challenges of remaining mindful when disconnected from the familiar. Through improvisational energy, the artists' compositions depict characters navigating uncertain terrain, drawing on archetypes that traverse epochs. Both artists converge in a relentless pursuit of the present, addressing uncertainties in identity and location throughout their compelling work. The works are shown with a residential backdrop; a traditional rowhouse.
