Amorfo solo exhibition, curated by Charlotte Dutoit and produced by JUSTKIDS, is Puerto Rican artist; Ana María,  most ambitious exhibition to date, presented  in San Juan, Puerto Rico from December 15th 2016  through December 30th.  

 Understanding love as a universally-recognized fact yet profoundly individual experience, Ana presents us with a world populated by multiplicities and, because of that, exposed to different artistic mediums where a thematic line is enhanced and overcomes the experience. The body, that vehicle of life, mutates, changes and is transformed once the mysteries of love and all of its vicissitudes capture it. This glorified torment doesn’t just leave its mark on the body, it passes through it, and what is history if not precisely that which leaves a mark? Even so, incomplete and counterfeit, we keep on loving in a brutal progression of change until we cease to be. “Amor/fo” can be read as a play on words that exposes a lingering critique of the devastating effects of love, which leaves us incomplete and undefined. All the while, paying tribute to that formlessness.

JUSTKIDS presents Ana Maria’s most ambitious display to date in San Juan, Puerto Rico International Art events producer JUSTKIDS chose Puerto Rico's vibrant capital San Juan to produce the highly anticipated solo exhibition of Puerto Rican and US based visual artist Ana Maria. After traveling and painting all over the world these last 4 years the renowned artist comes back to her native island with a brand new body of work entitled “Amorfo”. With her usual cynicism and sincerity the artist explores the delicate subject of love and it’s devastating complications through a collection of stories and romances performed by her iconoclastic subjects, both innocent and obscure, hopeful and disturbing. Amorfo is quite possibly the representation of our own monstrous humanity and lurking animality that is always creeping within our dark desires and fantasies, that Ana Maria, master in her craft, presents while revealing herself within her work. The exhibition, curated by Charlotte Dutoit and produced by JUSTKIDS, is on view from December 15th through December 30th. The opening reception with the artist in attendance will be held on Thursday December 15th at 7pm at the JUSTKIDS pop-up gallery, 201 Calle Cristo, Old San Juan. Open to the public from December 16th to 30th - Monday to Sunday 11a.m. to 6p.m everyday. info@justkidsofficial.com
