Verónica
Gómez

“In Verónica Gómez’s work, Spilimbergo’s metaphysical painting, gothic terror and the Argentine middle class born in the mid-twentieth century intersect. It could even be said that in a surreptitious way her series “La casa de las niñas inusuales” (The house of the unusual girls) is part of an ornamental treatise dedicated to the insignia of upward social mobility. There are the parquet floors, the laminates that look like marble, the granite-like ceramics, the beds with turned wooden backs…”.
