Review by Dámaso Santos Amestoy for the ABC Cultural supplement:
Ariadne’s Thread, CXLV. Alkyd on canvas, 90 x 90 cm., 2001 by ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES (Elche, 1949) in the solo exhibition at the LA LONJA Municipal Gallery in ALICANTE, May 2002; The 4 Painters from Elche, exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of EIVISSA (MACE) in July; and the MACE Museum in Elche-ELX in September 2002.
Nearly fifteen years ago, the dream of the brave and ingenious Ariadne fascinated a painter who was spinning the thread of a singular geometric proposal. Iluminada García-Torres had been practicing a painting of virtuous realistic technique, right on the edge of what was about to become the prolific neo-metaphysical movement current today. One day, at the Museo del Prado, she discovered the statue of the sleeping Ariadne, of which she painted several dreamlike and "metaphysical" versions. At that time, she was creating realistic paintings based on motifs as abstract as cylinders and prisms, which would later transition into her sculptural work. This retrospective offers brief testimony to both. It indicates—as Meyer Schapiro once taught—the continuity of abstract painting with the preceding figurative art, including that of one’s own authorship.
The "Ariadne’s Thread" that Iluminada declares in the title of this exhibition leads us to painting itself. It stitches together, if no longer the labyrinth, a reverberating imaginary space. Rows of squares with regular yet sensitive lines modulate the two-dimensional plane; the edges remain indifferent to the extension of those infinite brushstroke-threads, along which the painting is woven. These contrast the corporal and psychological trace of the ductus with the geometry of rational order. Through a dialogue of repetition and difference, of seriality and tonality, she conjures the fullness of modern painting so that the work—as Klee used to say—does not remain merely "a good carpet," but is capable of summoning the real presence of a third dimension without illusionist artifice.
ILUMINADA GARCIA-TORRES (Elche, 1949) weaves the tapestry of dreams, the tapestry of Ariadne’s dreams.
