FLORIA GONZÁLEZ & SANDRA LEAL
The Four Seasons: Anomalies
JO-HS CDMX
June 19th- August 19th
JO-HS is pleased to present The Four Seasons: Anomalies, a new exhibition by artists Floria González and Sandra Leal, opening June 19th, just before the summer solstice. This body of work reimagines time and nature through a speculative lens, unfolding across a series of paintings that move through the seasons with their own distinct palettes, symbols, and transformations. Natural cycles are disrupted—shaped instead by the forces of technology, biology, and energy. In this shifting landscape, perception of the body and the environment evolves, inviting new ways of inhabiting the world.

Each season reveals its own anomaly. Summer awakens a floral intelligence—ancestral, animal, and synthetic. Autumn transforms code into ritual, where archetypes emerge in a burning forest. Winter enters suspension, where time dissolves and stillness takes hold. And spring, far from a simple rebirth, becomes a hybrid bloom of ambiguous origin, where the organic and the artificial are no longer separate.
The Four Seasons: Anomalies is both a mirror of our present and a portal toward new forms of perception. As we move through this world where nature is duplicated, augmented, or replaced, we might ask: how do we grieve the organic, even as we construct its synthetic twin?

About Sandra Leal
Sandra Leal (b. 1980, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico) studied Visual Arts at the University of Monterrey, interspersing courses at the London Institute. She later completed a postgraduate degree in Visual Communication at the University of the Arts, London.
Under the premise of the feeling and impulse that transitions from contemplation to creative action, her work explores the mediums for manipulating light and darkness on canvas or paper. In the process, she erases and marks her strokes, situating them within a buildup of layers that intermittently shifts from depth to surface and vice versa. She subverts the darkness of her background by acknowledging the chromatic situation of the line, without evident discrimination between painting, drawing, and writing, prioritizing both the spatial and organizational potency of light.
She has exhibited collectively or individually in Mexico City, Paris, Monterrey, Madrid, and Zurich. She lives and works in Monterrey, Mexico, focusing on painting, graphic production, and sculpture.
