'In the Gloaming', a new art installation by Ana Curbelo, is featured in FINALLY, an exhibition by Moniker.art during Frieze Week, from October 10-16, 2024.
In In the Gloaming, Curbelo’s figures exude both strength and vulnerability, their bodies resting in ways that feel grounded, natural, and unapologetic. Some sprawl across the walls, their faces stern, while others reveal gentle or amused expressions, as though they’ve seen something you haven’t. They aren’t posed to please; they simply exist—confident and unbothered by the gaze.
The theme of twilight runs through the work, reflecting the impermanence of the space itself. Knowing the building will be demolished after the exhibition, the figures and gradients evoke that in-between moment—where nothing is certain, and nothing stays for long.
