Magali Lara: Robar lo que me pertenece

Magali Lara stands as a pivotal figure in understanding painting through the lens of feminism and the conceptual movements that reshaped Mexican art in the 1970s.

This publication reaffirms Galería RGR's commitment to presenting a contemporary perspective devoted to painting, drawing, visual poetry, and the critical reflection that animates Lara’s practice.

Lara’s work dissolves the boundaries between drawing and writing, between image and text, challenging artistic conventions while situating painting in that liminal space where figuration meets abstraction, and words become forms. It invites a renewed reading of Lara’s oeuvre through the resonances of female intimacy in the present. It acknowledges the enduring pulse of her earlier concerns as they unfold across both affective and political territories. Edited by Gabriela Rangel, this volume gathers insightful texts by María Minera, Irmgard Emmelhainz, and Rangel herself, offering a multifaceted exploration of one of Mexico’s most vital and uncompromising artists.
