Unravel, 2023- Cristi López .lopez.s
Colored pencil, acrylic, and ink on paper, mounted on panel
24” x 18”
Catholic iconography inspires the often central, triangular compositions, which combined with López’s tight figural posture, creates a sense of tension in the work. She nods to Dominican folk art to inform the bold, primary color palettes of this new body of work. All of these influences, along with repeating motifs can be seen in Unravel (featured), that depicts a wounded female n**e, against a backdrop of the Chicago Skyline. Although tense, the figure is calm and at peace.
