Anelys Wolf & Sebastían Preece
May - August 2024

The choice to pair works by Sebastián Preece and Anelys Wolf for the fourth exhibition at Capilla Azul came, ironically, from our awareness that their respective approaches to making art bear little outward resemblance to one another. While Wolf is dedicated to the historically contained format of representational painting, Preece’ working methods involve a more improvisational response to the physical environment in which he finds himself. As for the results, their separate methods and ideas produced equally distinct bodies of work that suggest no natural basis for comparison or assimilation. Nonetheless, Preece’s rigorous investigations into the mutability of materials, and Wolf’s narrative excursions into the past, share the essential trait of being able to induce within viewers a sensation of having been inexplicably lost in time.
