Artwork
Pulido's sight-specific installation at AMA, Lapislázuli en pintura al temple v/s Pino Melis en esmalte spray (Lapis Lazuli in Egg Tempera vs. Knotty Pine in Spray Enamel), juxtaposes materials, paint, and what is painted - emphasizing the materiality of the work with its capacity for illusion. By contrasting a marble texture made with a material that dates very far back into history (egg tempera) with a wood texture made with contemporary media (spray paint), Pulido creates a dialogue between classical and modern forms of art and the materials used to make art.
