About the Item

As a gallerist, few moments are as rewarding as introducing collectors to an artist whose work speaks so profoundly to our shared human experience. Maria José Chica’s paintings do exactly that. Her practice is more than visual—it's archeological, emotional, and cultural. Each piece is a layered excavation, fusing natural pigments from Colombian landscapes with archival imagery that tells stories of migration, memory, and identity. What makes Chica’s work compelling for collectors is its rare ability to bridge aesthetic beauty with intellectual depth. Her art doesn't merely decorate a space—it activates it. Owning one of her pieces means owning a conversation between past and present, between land and lineage. These are works that evolve in meaning over time, much like the identities they reflect. Maria José Chica is part of a growing movement of Latin American artists redefining contemporary painting through materials rooted in place and narratives rooted in lived experience. Her work resonates on both a personal and universal level, offering collectors not just a window into her world, but a mirror to their own. This is the moment to invest in an artist whose voice is both timely and timeless.

LAWN CHAIR WITH MARBLES - Oil, enamel painting on canvas with marbles in resin
By Eleanor Aldrich
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
A figure reclines in a red and yellow-strapped lawn chair. The figure sitting in the chair is activated by Aldrich’s transformation of paint and resin into oozing swaths of skin between the lawn chair straps. The chair, recalling the grid, works as a pattern trying to hold and contain the body resting inside it. -- Building on her previous show, Main Squeeze, which featured bodies pressing through the grid of lawn chairs, in “That Feeling When,” Aldrich expands the excess of materials to large figure paintings and small, overfilled sculptures. Aldrich uses thick materials that protrude from the surface, reminding the viewer that the paintings are not only physical objects in themselves, but also create the illusion of the picture. The work employs a risky excess of material that borders on uncontrollable; becoming metaphoric for barely controlled femininity, the attraction and repulsion of materialism, and the body pressing against constraints. The figures in the paintings are seen from behind or have turned away. The viewer is put in a place of questioning whether they are a voyeur or a co-viewer with the figure of something deeper in the picture plane. The full body paintings...
