VERÓNICA DI TORO
WORK
GRIDES
Di Toro creates large series, exploring the plastic possibilities of form and color, through a powerful abstraction that is unquestionably limited to two-dimensionality. Rigorously guided by geometry, her painting is at once vibrant, systemic and purist. The lines that intersect, break or dispose in parallel generating planes and creating modules that divide the surface. With these few elements, Di Toro elaborates a precise logic that she will be able to recombine in new paintings, with only introducing minimal alterations. In this way she gives rise to a system in which each element is intimately linked with the others: each color, each shape, each distribution in the plane, pre-announce to others. Analytical and highly encoded, Di Toro's abstract geometry is presented as the corollary of systemic thinking, but never predictable.

SABRINA MERAYO NÚÑEZ
BIO
Sabrina Merayo Núñez (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, 1980)
Wood has become Sabrina Merayo Núñez's starting point when making sculptures and installations. She has been investigating different wood craft processes (cabinet making, carving, inlays) and the organic substances used for its conservation. Some years ago, she became interested in the biological processes of trees, focusing on how technology influences our relationship with nature.
Due to her interest in Bioart, she has been working with DNA extraction from different tree species and its comparison with the human genetic code. Additionally, in her artistic installations, she involves mixed media such as laboratories samples, notes, records, drawings and sculptures.
Merayo Núñez has studied Visual Arts at Universidad Nacional de las Artes and the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Prilidiano Pueyrredón. Additionally, she studied Fine Arts at Universidad de Buenos Aires and Art Valuation at Universidad del Museo Social Argentino. In 2015, she was selected to participate in the annual program for artists Proyecto PAC of Galería Gachi Prieto
She featured her work in national and international exhibitions held in numerous institutions such as: Museo de Bellas Artes de Houston (Texas, United States); Euroamerica Gallery (New York, United States); Galleria Don Chisciotte (Rome, Italy); Galería Gachi Prieto (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and Perotti Galería (Buenos Aires, Argentina), among others.
Regarding awards and recognitions, she participated in the XX Fundación Klemm Visual Arts award (Buenos aires, Argentina, 2016); Itaú Cultural Visual Arts Award (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2016); William Foundation Award (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2015); UADE National Visual Arts Contest Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2015) and she also received a Honorary Mention in the Andreani Visual Arts award (Buenos Aires, Argentina 2015).
In 2019 she was selected to be part of the Artistas Latinex NYC Creative Capital Workshop, and, in 2018, she developed her project Humans as trees in the Coalesce Center for Biological Arts, University of Buffalo (New York, United States). In 2017, she participated in the Bioart Residency of the School of Fine Arts in New York, United States
