Description
In Jardín Nocturno, Lorena Villalobos works in oil and cold wax, black branch and plant forms rising through a warm, worked ground of ochre and grey. The surface has been built up and scraped back, leaf shapes emerging and receding across the composition. It is a night garden painting in which the darkness has weight.
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.
