MEANA MARTINEZ, Juan Carlos. The denial of the image in the art work of Irma Álvarez Laviada. []. , 5, 9, pp.179-189. ISSN 1647-6158.

Under the prism of the aesthetics of the denial, or aesthetic of negation, we analyze works of the artist Irma Álvarez-Laviada. In the analysis there appear three creative strategies that operate inside the denial: Unfolding and opposition; Verse and back; Saturation and denial, which they come to extend and develop the creative work on the emptiness. The followed methodolog y is based on two criteria: one formalist who develops aspects of an expanded painting; and other one based on the postulates of J. Lacan concerning the emptiness of the vision and the image sieve or mediating.

: Denial; aesthetic of the negation; emptiness; saturation; aesthetics.
