About the Item

Lucía Rodríguez Pérez was first drawn to painting on a circular canvas while studying in Santiago, Chile. This early body of work experimented with color and featured ivy or plants in the background. As ivy grows everywhere and in all directions, the circular canvas unlocked the effect of continuous space for the artist. After plunging into color studies at the New York Academy of Art, Rodríguez Pérez continued to develop her visual language of abstraction in the context of movement on water. Today, she pursues this subject using a vibrant and simplified color palette to define and warp grids, hinting at the presence of water and depth. She expresses the optical sensation of light and materiality on water through thickly applied staccato brushstrokes, or floating confetti pieces that conjure a kinetic sense of falling weight on water. These confetti pieces contain properties that only exist within Rodríguez Pérez's painted worlds—lilac or blue shadows—and result in dynamic and enlivened compositions. Although in tondo format, these paintings become portholes that expand towards the viewer and reminds us that water-watching can be more fascinating than people watching. Furthermore, Rodriguez Perez is greatly inspired by renaissance art and the idea that a painting is a window or mirror. She explains: “I started working with the idea: how can I work in abstraction but include elements that suggest the presence of a physical space. I thought water was the perfect element because water distorts images and patterns. It [water] can start suggesting something else is there just through color and shape.”

    Artist 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.
