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.”

  • Untitled (balcony III), 2022, colorful, abstract, architectural painting
    Located in Brooklyn, NY
    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...

  • Untitled II, 2019, Abstract Red Striped Oil on Panel Painting
    Located in Brooklyn, NY
    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. Her work is encompassed primarily by paintings, but explores a range of media including works on paper, collage, sculpture, and videography. As described by her husband and artist collaborator, she is a “chromo-phile who prioritizes ambiguity.” Currently, her work explores the tension between abstraction and representation, and is informed by color as the first and last word. Rodríguez Pérez has shown internationally and widely in Colorado, including her debut solo exhibition in the United States at Alto Gallery in Denver (2022). 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. She is the recipient of a merit scholarship at the New York Academy of Art, and has been awarded grants and residencies from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and Space 776 in New York. Her work has been featured by Project Gallery V, the Denver Art Museum, Mesa Gráfica, ArtAlLimite Newspaper, and more. In addition to Romi Studio...
