Alegría Latin Art presents a Solo Exhibition by artist Paula R Rodriguez in collaboration with Cavita Restaurant.
This exhibition will take place at the stunning Cavita Restaurant in London.
This exhibition shows the work of Mexican artist Paula R Rodriguez, originally from Mexico City and now living in the UK. Paula aims to capture the beauty and magic of Mexico and Latin America while exploring issues of identity. She uses shape, colour, and form to evoke the magic realism of her cultural background and the richness of its native traditions.
The artwork will be available for purchase during the duration of this exhibition.
This exhibition is supported by the Mexican Embassy in the United Kingdom and Cavita Restaurant.
Presented by Alegría Latin Art.
Paula R Rodriguez is a Mexican artist based in London whose painting practice combines creative explorations of her native Mexico with social concerns. She weaves narratives that explore the subject matter of mental health, often specifically as it relates to her cultural background.
Rodriguez’s paintings capture the beauty and magic of Mexico and Latin America while exploring issues of identity. Seeking to portray fragments of the essence of communities and places, Rodriguez is fascinated by the way spaces acquire an identity of their own through the passage of time, and through the meaning given to them by the people who inhabit and animate them. She uses shape, colour, and form to evoke the magic realism of her cultural background and the richness of its native traditions.
Being Latin American is integral to Rodriguez's identity and is a key part of her work; intersections between memory and place as sites of personal and collective belonging are central subjects. She is especially interested in the magical realism it evokes and aims to portray this whilst transporting people to imaginary places rooted in her own recollections, often evoking a pleasant feeling of solitude.
The poetic realism of Rodriguez’s work conveyed through striking colour combinations, and hard-edge abstractions, and her images which are populated by lone figures, transport us to an imaginary world of understated beauty and stillness.
