Patricia Espinosa ”Popping Into Abstraction”
Soho20 Chelsea Gallery
This event has ended.
At the heart of Espinosa’s work and practice is a desire to strike a balance between natural dualities and to understand both the interconnectedness and contrasting nature of these elements.
While Espinosa has a long history with drawing and traditional fine art practices, she employs unconventional techniques and materials in her work to disrupt the canonical nature often found in contemporary art. Used either directly in the work or as a tool to facilitate her practice, items such as bubble wrap, coffee stirrers, ping pong balls, hoops, and various household objects play an important part in Espinosa’s creative process. She explains, “The use of non-art materials in art practice frees the artist from the heaviness and expectation that art materials carry”.
