38 ERLEA MANEROS

September 3rd, 2004,
The New York Times, 2005
watercolor on paper, 26" x 37 1/2"

Born in Bilbao, Maneros completed her graduate studies at California Institute of the Arts in Valencia. She has participated in such group shows as “Pictures are the Proble”m at the Perham Art Center in New York, “Meanwhile, in another place…” at Sala Rekalde in Bilbao, and “Erlea Maneros & Sara Jordeno” at ART2102 in Los Angeles. “Using painting as means to reflect on representation, recent history and the memory of events, Maneros appropriates images and text from mass media sources…her watercolors endow the kind of front-page representations that are designed to grab consumer attention with a delicacy that speaks to the relationship between beauty and violence and asks us to address the ways in which we vicariously consume violence as a palatable experience.” (Artivism, Group Show)
