Inés Medinaren sorkuntza garaikidea historiaratzeko estrategiak

Abstract

Inés Medinaren lanak euskal historiografian duen tokia abstrakzioarekin lotu da, artistak burututako azterketa formal plastikoan oinarrituz. Hala ere, azken urteetan bestelako pintura plazaratu du, psikoanalisitik abiatuz eta genero indarkeriaren inguruan hausnartuz. Ildo horren adibidea dugu bide hori ireki zuen 19. seriea. Lan horiek ikertzeko, abstrakzioan garatutako markoa nahikoa ez dela iradokitzen dudan heinean, berri bat eraikitzea proposatzen dut. Horretarako, feminismoarentzat garrantzitsuak diren, eta Medinaren lanean ageri diren, bi gai aztertzen ditut bere lanari lotuta: gorputzaren eta adimenaren arteko harremana eta feminitatea. Horrez gain, emakumeenganako bortizkeriaren landu duten beste artista garaikideekin batera testuinguratzen dut bere lana.

The place of Inés Medina's work in Basque historiography has been associated with abstraction, based on the artist's formal plastic study. However, in recent years she has made public a different painting, based on psychoanalysis and reflecting on gender-based violence. An example of this line is the pioneering 19th series. To investigate these works, I suggest building a new framework, as the one developed around abstraction does not seem applicable. In order to do this, I use two subjects that are important to feminism, and present in Medina's work: the relationship between body and mind, and femininity. I also contextualize her work with other contemporary artists who have dealt with violence against women.
