About the Item
In her “Balcony” series paintings, Lucía Rodríguez Pérez uses an same architectural mindset by constructing images of pillars and the surrounding sky by skillfully manipulating color to create the illusion of natural light. While architects and artists cannot manipulate natural light, she masterfully blends colors in her palette to create a complex yet subtle gradient that evokes the feeling of a sunset or sunrise. Each “Balcony” painting created by Rodríguez Pérez is a unique and autonomous creation, featuring its own distinct elements and patterns. Although each painting includes an undulating pillar that serves as the focal point, the fences and tiles are adorned with dynamic patterns that range from scalloped and diamond motifs to quatrefoil shapes. The fence’s exquisite pattern and perspective provide a sense of privacy for the viewer, allowing them to experience the sublime within the sanctity of the colored cloister. Roríguez Pérez’s unwavering awareness of color and its effects, material, and seeking equilibrium defines her approach in “solving” all her works on view.
Artist Statement on this work:
One of the things I am very interested in is the relationship between abstraction and representation. Usually, when we approach art we tend to separate the two: is this abstract art or is this representational art? That difference doesn’t really exist. Artists are looking at things in abstract terms and how to put these shapes together: is it going to resemble something you can recognize or not? In the Balcony series, I wanted to take that to an extreme. I am working with very abstract elements: shapes, patterns, and colors. I am putting them together to really and clearly resemble an architectural space.
One of the main inspirations for this work were the images and paintings of the late medieval and early renaissance art that I really like because they are in the awkward space between are we looking images as language to explain things like medieval art use to do or are we trying to create an illusion that you believe you could walk into the space like renaissance art did? In that transition, I think a lot of interesting things can happen because you introduce elements that are naturalistic and in favor of illusion, but also introducing elements completely compositional and visual. It creates a sense of awkwardness in the image, that I think for me is attractive but also unsettling. I like to be in that space. I think there is something to discover in that ambiguity. For me, ambiguity is essential in my work.

- Jardin de esculturasLocated in Brooklyn, NYArtist Statement on “Houseplants” series: The following project began towards the end of 2017. The transition from my previous work (abstract expressionist paintings that explored processes related to my athletic practice) may seem spontaneous, but it was something that happened quite naturally for me after an ankle injury I suffered in June of that year. From a very active daily routine I was forced quite abruptly into a sedentary one. While being inactive was a circumstance that made me feel very uncomfortable and uneasy not only physically, but also emotionally, it was one that is so common - and comfortable - for the ever expanding digital society. Without realizing that I was beginning a new body of work I was drawn by a deep urge to painting humans as some sort of inanimate object. A houseplant I thought, a wild organism domesticated. I had a few ideas for the figures in mind and knew the composition would be set in an environment that can neither be recognized as indoor or outdoor, but without clear ideas of the final pieces. Having only rough pencil sketches to start from allowed the work to have elements of spontaneity and life, but also required perseverance to see them through to an unknown end. I experiment directly on the canvas with form and color until the subjects feel right (not necessarily anatomically, but rather aesthetically). Thereon changes continue until, upon stepping away from the work, the sum of its elements evoke a sense of harmony; sometimes on purpose, sometimes by mistake. This is in many ways a continuation of the processes I practiced in my previous work, only applied to a new subject. By embracing mistakes, and responding to aesthetic decisions on the canvas directly the painting begins to form harmony through trial and error, building simultaneously texture and depth, and maintaining an expressive quality.
