NOT REGISTERED
Out of Register
They are investigations of a world in which movement infiltrates the landscape. In "Out of Register" vibrations are generated, this research is named for the error that occurs in offset printing when one of the color layers moves a little. They originate from everyday accidents that she saw in the printing press of her father: when the type of patterns she uses in the works appear in the image prints, they are technically errors, but they are hypnotic errors.
The superposition of frames in slightly displaced layers whose fusion creates another very different and more complex pattern than any of the individual ones, installs a gulf between what each of the layers describes and what is finally seen. The frames overlap and interfere with each other, but they are not interference images, they are "interference".
Breakdowns into two- or three-dimensional works seem to document the discovery that an error was the underlying principle of the world. Her works confront us with the sensation of being in front of something known and something unknown at the same time, as if these images reveal some memory of something that cannot be specified exactly. The optical illusion that movement generates infiltrates a kind of tragic distance. They are works that remain liminal, mysterious, quiet: technical problems that really represent something, and always beyond our reach.

ISOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS
ISOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS
Flat frames are passed to the volume by means of geometric tessellations that are folded and folded without using any tools other than the hands. The tesel is the isometric pattern (it does not change its shape or size) that is followed when covering a surface. Tessellation requires avoiding overlapping figures and ensuring that no blank spaces are recorded in the overlay of the entire plane. So these folds and openwork are often a support or medium to work in collaboration with others and in turn the reusable paper transforms them into mobile and ephemeral works.

BIO
María Elisa Luna (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1976)
Although María Elisa Luna's area of expertise lies in the field of painting, she has also worked with installations, embroidery and object art. Since her father had a printing business, she grew up in a very graphic atmosphere. This experience made her dive into the world of weft construction throughout her entire artistic life. The artist starts working with a geometric pattern and continues to work on it until she finds the final image that will be captured on canvas. Recently, she undertook a profound investigation of tessellations. Due to this research, the use of frames made up of triangular shapes allowed the artist to start working with volume and movement in space.
Nowadays, color has become part of her patterns. Her color palette arises from combining CMYK and RGB systems with light experiences for city life.
She studied Textile Design in the Universidad de Buenos Aires. She also studied to become an Art Professor in the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Prilidiano Pueyrredón and Visual Arts in the Universidad Nacional de las Artes. In 2012, she was selected to participate in the annual Program for Artists Proyecto PAC in Gachi Prieto Gallery. She also attended the Contemporary Textile Experimentation workshop dictated by Andre Cavagnaro and Andrea Moccio’s screen printing course. From 2008 until 2013, she participated in Andres Waissman’s art clinic seminars
She featured her work in several solo shows such as: RGB, Interferencias (Centro Cultural San Martín, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2018), Interferencias (Galería Alfinete, Brasilia, Brazil, 2016) and La gota de agua (Gachi Prieto Gallery, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2012).
Regarding contests and awards, she was selected to participate in the Bancor Painting Award (Córdoba, Argentina, 2016 and 2017); the Banco Ciudad Painting Contest (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2016); the Itaú Visual Arts Award (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2015) and the UADE National Painting Contest (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2013). She also received a Mention in the 6th National Biennial “Ciudad Rafaela Award” (Santa Fe, Argentina, 2015)
In 2016 she founded, together with seven other artists, DESARMADERO [Artists Office]
