Resurgimiento [Resurgence]
2022 - Painting (Painting)
135 x 67 cm
Wynnie Mynerva Mendoza Ortiz
Wynnie Mynerva places their body at the center of their practice from an intimate perspective and healing dimension. Their paintings are thresholds where body parts proliferate beyond names and labels, dissolving and intermingling gender marks, organs, and prostheses. Resurgimiento [Resurgence] was produced in the aftermath of their fifth solo show Closing to Open (Galería Ginsberg, Lima, 2021), in which Mynerva addressed their experience of going through a vaginal surgical procedure to help them feel more aligned with their gender identity. The large, brightly colored painting depicts two self-representations of Mynerva. As if in an act of mourning, they hold in their hands the body that they were before and they left behind. From the bottom, black wings pierce their former body, which is given as an offering. For the artist, this painting is an homage to the multitude of sexual identities and gender expressions. The title Resurgence evokes a moment of reinvention, of rising again into life in a world where non-binary bodies are still pathologized and criminalized.
Wynnie Mynerva is a non-binary artist based in Lima whose pictorial and performative practice is developed in close collaboration with the transgender and queer communities where they belong. Their work transits and expands the limits of the flesh, the body, and desire. Mynerva does not paint mere fictions but bodily possibilities: as if the brush were not connected with their hand but with their stomach, with their ears, with their uterus, with their tongue, esophagus, intestines, and nails. Their paintings are a vibrant extension of their body, and their body is an erotic and synthetic field of plastic exploration. Pigments on fabric and plastic operate on the same level as the incisions they choose to make on their skin: both are technologies aimed at disrupting the normative truth of sex and gender. Both allow them to contaminate and cross the violent borders of sexual binarism.
