Muriel Napoli: Rio Grande

The works of Muriel Napoli are strange romances without words. Reality disappears in order to better spring up in a paradoxical deciphering of the world. It is a conversion, a reversal by fluidity of the plastic language: the forms generate each other to make pass from a state in another.

Cultivating that which is disconcerting, Muriel Napoli opens a world which is not immediately grasped. Sometimes there are transmissions of a strange blackness that tear the work from a simple narrative. The artist brings back to the insoluble question of the meaning of the image where something works and crawls in the silence between light and erasure, far from the derisory illusions of reality. The emotional encounter with poetry arises. It displaces the reference points in order to touch deaf truths, fundamental. In a high requirement emanates the quest of the stripping and the opening by the approach of the ineffable.
