Lucía Rodríguez Pérez
Untitled (Fence), Abstract Colorful & Vibrant Oil Painting

2022

About the Item

Rodríguez Pérez approaches painting with an architectural mindset, constructing images of fences 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. Although mixing colors on a palette is considered a "subtractive mixture" of reflected light that leans toward a grayish color, Rodríguez Pérez deceives the viewer's eye with a pink and orange hue that vibrates and makes this painting have a strong presence in a room. The green screen results in an airiness that adds to the dream-like quality of her paintings, leaving the viewer to ponder the mystery behind its creation. Moreover, the dominant hue in this fence painting is a vibrant shade of green, evocative of the lush vines that could perhaps grow on the gothic-like fence in this far-off world. 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 space. Throughout all her works, Rodríguez Pérez demonstrates an unwavering awareness of color, its effects, and the materials she uses, all of which contribute to achieving a harmonious and balanced composition. 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 my work, 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.

    Lucía Rodríguez Pérez, b. 1986, Santiago, Chile Lucía Rodríguez Pérez was born and raised in Santiago, Chile. She received her B.F.A. from the Universidad Católica de Chile in 2009, and her M.F.A. from the New York Academy of Art in 2016.

Group exhibitions include Peep Space, Tarrytown, NY (2023); Sala Virtual CCU, Santiago, Chile (2022), Soft Times Gallery, San Francisco, CA (2022); RedLine, Denver, CO (2019); Light Grey Art Lab, Minneapolis, MN (2018); Flux Factory, New York, NY (2016); among others.
