Some words — I love you and you won — so beautifully alter the course of our lives that we wish we could enshrine them, bathe in them, and take them to bed at night. Others — you’re fired and it’s over — we’d like nothing more than to destroy, mangle, and twist.
In the ’60s, artists who understood the weighted power of words rescued them from placards and used them as art itself. Words became the medium — one that could be deconstructed, superimposed, and layered. “Profane Expressions” at David Castillo Gallery (2234 NW Second Ave., Miami) brings to light the work of five artists who continue in this tradition. Look for Sandra Ceballos’s paintings of medieval human dissections transposed over handwritten political speeches.
