Molde

Molde by Claudia Aedo, Oil on canvas, 2023

Selected for the 2025 London Art Biennale, Chile. Oil on canvas, 2023. 160x130cm.

Molde explores the visual tension between structure and movement, opacity and emergence. A dense black form anchors the left side of the composition, while fluid gestural marks traverse a textured white field. The monochromatic palette reinforces a sense of compression and release. Through this interplay of mass and gesture, the painting reflects the fragility of perception in times of accelerated change—inviting reflection on how we navigate instability with both resistance and adaptation.

Claudia Aedo is a Chilean visual artist whose practice explores abstract gesture as a language of perception and inquiry. Her paintings emerge through a physical, intuitive process that investigates the relationship between body, time, and transformation. Her recent work reflects on the instability of contemporary life through layered surfaces and restrained, resonant compositions.
