Summary:	Catalogue of the solo exhibition of painter, historian and researcher Beatriz González (Bucaramanga, Colombia 1932), one of the most significant contemporary artists of the local and international art scene. This exhibition brings together a recent and unpublished body of work, comprising painting, drawing and a hanging paper.CONTRAFIGURAS is a profound reflection on the grief caused by the massacres in Colombia, inspired by images that she cut from the Samarian newspapers that accompanied her in the period she spent in the city of Santa Marta, as part of her daily routine and reveals a series of images that in the artistœs own words: visibilize an internal struggleʺ. By negating clearly delineated and perfect forms, Beatriz Gonzalezœs images metaphorically speak of the impossibility of seeking truth amidst widespread tragedy. "González' unmistakable style presents us with heads and bodies that overlap and break, represented simultaneously with sophistication and naivety. For this reason, perhaps, her paintings seem abstract, primitive, figurative, modern and pop, all at the same time. Who drew this?, who painted this? A Farmer, a child, an indigenous person, an artist? [] We are broken subjects that inhabit broken bodies and breathe the air of a broken landscape in a broken country"--Page 57.
