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.
