RED PILLING

Influenced by Picasso’s period of cubism, and surrealism and De Kooning’s abstract expressionism,  M. Solorzano paints biomorphic shapes. She is great at ambiguously blending figure and ground in her pictures while dismembering, re-assembling and distorting her figures in the process. An admirer of beauty, she paints the female form as the mother of the universe, and nature meshed into one. Her art has been changing through the years to a more figurative style and melodic lines.

The term "red pill"   is the revelation of  an unpleasant truth, represented by the red pill, The terms reference the 1999 film The Matrix.

 

In this piece the artist portrays an individual whose brain has been Red Pilled.  From above, out of a pill bottle, exclamation marks fall that represent truths.  The subject's eyes are wide open, and the face, expressionless.
