For her latest exhibition, Los Angeles-based Argentinian painter Patricia Iglesias Peco continues her exploration of the natural world by drawing influence from the Uruguayan poet Marosa di Giorgio (1932-2004) and the feminine cosmology elaborated in her writing. A primary setting in her work is "YLA," a garden-kingdom where di Giorgio weaves tales of the lives and couplings of the señoras-niñas. In these surreal worlds conjured on the page, Iglesias Peco finds a matrix through which to extend her signature vocabulary of images and gestures. The garden which is central to di Giorgio’s work comes to life in a state of constant metamorphosis where flowers, women, birds, and celestial bodies intertwine in transformative flux. In response, Iglesias Peco paints a seductive tapestry, both fearlessly erotic and beguilingly monstrous, in which organic shapes that recall flowers and inchoate protozoa float through fluid fields of color.
