Hilda Catz
Born in Argentina, her double insertion as both a psychoanalyst and plastic artist, through her personal ¨ideolect¨, shows us work sustained by thorough artistic training with the greatest masters and deep autobiographical roots. She took training in the Prilidiano Pueyrredon and De la Carcova Schools of Fine Arts and completed it in different ateliers such as those of Rivero, Machi, Gorriarena, Eckell, Rank and Roux. She is also involved in the literary world, studying with Blaistein and Lynch, whose results can be seen in her series of poems, drawings and pastels entitled ¨Amorotica¨ [¨Loverotica¨[. She has enriched her sensitive universe by learning music, which is evidenced in the rhythms that move through her plastic language with particular vehemence, from love and erotism to her series on ¨Culture of violence, culture of indifference¨. She depicts an inscription in a world characterized by the worst of violences: the incandescent violence of indifference (Baudrillard). In the course of her history, she has demonstrated versatility for expressing herself in the line that runs through all her works and takes shape as poems, paintings and sculptures that could be described as dancing freely, poised upon her marvelous ability for drawing, sustaining everything she sets out to do on the solidity of her training. Delineated since her childhood, sometimes as a game and at others as a magical incantation, it goes through different experiences, connecting them with the world of art and also reaching into the innovative universe of video-art and psycho-video art, in a video-art series entitled ´Out of a Squiggle¨. Her works speak with a vision of the world involved in the human drama and its tragic unfolding ¨in that space of subjectivity shared by psychoanalysis and art, a space inhabited by love and cruelty, the vicissitudes of sexuality and death. Considering it as an unfinished work, full of scenes that seek to be represented, among the wanderings of ghosts, the quiet of the dead and the fragmented echo of dreams.¨ This phrase quotes one of her research papers on creativity as a psychoanalyst, a member of the Argentine and the International Psychoanalytic Associations. She has published some of her paintings, which accompany her research papers on psychoanalysis and art, in books published in Argentina and abroad, which are actually papers on art, such as her paper on styles in painting, focusing on the Baroque and neo-Baroque. In her works exhibited in Argentine galleries and others abroad, we see how her penetrating gaze, playful and lively, vibrates with its own light, and where, in her own words, ¨colors, sounds, words, textures and forms play together, constructing without ever finishing the mutable face of the unconscious...¨ (Growel)
