Catharine Clark Gallery returns to Untitled Art, Miami Beach with a solo booth presentation of new work by Mexican-born artist Arleene Correa Valencia, a follow-up to her acclaimed debut at The Armory Show in 2023.
Arleene Correa Valencia is an emerging contemporary artist interested in migration, family, and the visibility/invisibility of undocumented people in the United States. Born in Michoacán, Mexico, Correa Valencia fled with her family to the United States at age three and grew up in Napa Valley. The prolonged experience of separation when her father left to find work made a profound impact on Correa Valencia’s childhood and outlook. Her artistic practice continues to explore the grief, anxieties, and fears of repeated separation alongside the joys of reunited life together.
The gallery's presentation at Untitled Art, Miami Beach features a new series of portraits that capture the complex experience of migration across the Mexico-United States border. The figures are embroidered and painted on handmade Amate, a traditional paper made with tree bark by expert artists and collaborators in Mexico. Each portrait includes reflective fabrics and discarded clothing that closely mimic original family photographs, stitching together the story of Correa Valencia’s family over the past three generations.
Correa Valencia's presentation runs concurrently to her major solo museum exhibition, "salt 16: Arleene Correa Valencia," at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts: https://umfa.utah.edu/salt/arleene-correa-valencia.
