Firelei Baez Pouring Process - Search Videos

Firelei Báez paints the stories history tried to erase. Working on maps, books, and archival materials, her art interrupts the idea that history is neutral or fixed. This 2024 piece, Zemi (a new spelling of my name), pulls from myth, memory, and refusal, using excess, color, and layered surfaces to make space for voices left out of the record. This is art that doesn’t just revisit history, it rewrites it. #MicrodoseOfArt #ContemporaryArt #WomenArtists | Paul Thompson

Since 2008, New York-based artist Firelei Báez has experimented with pouring paint on Yupo paper, which has a synthetic, nonabsorbent surface. Acrylic paint, gouache and ink mix and pool together, creating fluid and unfixed forms that are the basis for the artist’s figures—often self-portraits, like the image you see here.Some of Báez’s Yupo works form figures with piercing eyes, whose gaze follows us as we move.

Drawing upon the rich folklore and colonial history of the Caribbean, Firelei Báez paints dramatically shapeshifting figures that assert the power of the female form—challenging fundamental ideas around beauty and agency. "In having bodies in constant transition, it leaves it open for the viewer to shift ideas of power," says Báez in a new film from our "New York Close Up" series. "In that process, you shift the world around you. That's where beauty can be subversive." Watch → http://a21.tv/Baez

👀 Peek behind the scenes and watch as Firelei Báez’s immersive installation “A Drexcyen chronocommons (To win the war you fought it sideways)” (2019) comes to life at the Gallery. ✨ In this work, Báez creates a grotto-like space using perforated blue tarp, a material often used for shelter and refuge following natural disasters, particularly in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where the artist’s family is from. 🌌 Here, the tarps are reimagined as the night sky, or perhaps an underwater world.

Firelei Báez evokes a misunderstood character from Dominican folklore, the ciguapa, an evasive and cunning female figure. “The normative tone of the story is these are wanton female creatures,” says the artist in our “New York Close Up” film. “The understory is they are highly independent, they're self-possessed, and they feel deeply. So who wouldn't want to be that?” Watch the full film→http://a21.tv/BaezHorizon | Art21
