Description
Vintage St. Catalinas is Lorena Villalobos working in calligraphy, ink and collage on canvas — palm trees framing a coastal scene, warm amber sky above a strip of blue water, tropical vegetation layered across the foreground.
The collage and calligraphy give the surface a layered, archival quality, marks and fragments of paper building up across the landscape. It is vintage coastal painting with the Catalinas coastline as subject — one of Costa Rica’s most distinctive stretches of Pacific coast rendered in ink, collage and paint.
Art historian and former Costa Rican Minister of Culture Carlos Francisco Echeverría has described her work as among the most significant to have emerged from the region in recent times. She is among twenty-six artists named as Modern and Contemporary Masters in Central American Modernism (Ford and Snider, 2018).
Framing not included.
