Acid Rain: An exhibit of digital works on canvas by Marisela Vanegas Alas

April 7, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Free

Electrical Jungle at 304 Newark Avenue, Jersey City is pleased to present Acid Rain – a solo exhibit by Salvadoran born abstract expressionist artist Marisela Vanegas Alas.

“With one taste, this neon flavoured fantasy

will melt off your skin like morning dew on cotton candy…”

The title of the featured collection is an allusion to the profound euphoric state and intensified sensory perception characterized by the psychedelic experience, in the context of a post industrial world afflicted by its own zeal for productivity.

Marisela created each piece on her mobile phone using only free software and a hollow, aluminum dollar-store stylus. The signature fuscia accent colour of the collection is the result of a glitch in the software, which lagged under the maximum resolution parameters.

This experiment emerged from an attempt to replicate the meditative process of creating acrylic paint based mixed media pieces on canvas, which she could no longer continue to pursue due to lack of resources and physical real estate. Instead of admitting defeat, she simply turned to the mundane technology residing in her back pocket, which broadened the context of her work environment and streamlined her creation process.

Marisela is formally trained architectural designer whose work has been previously funded by the New York Foundation of the Arts, and exhibited in galleries and community spaces throughout New York City and the greater metropolitan area, as well as through her own informal street pop-up project titled Guerrilla Gallery.

Join us for refreshments and an immersive multimedia experience during the opening reception on April 7 6-9pm. Exhibited works will be on view through April 15. Visiting hours are Fridays from 6-9pm and Saturdays from 1-5pm.
