Patricia Iglesias Peco’s practice is tuned into the vibrancy of the natural world, imagining rambunctious gardens of flora and fauna rendered in oil paint—vegetal bodies caught in whirling gestures of bloom and decay, a choreography of endless beginnings. A playful undulating tension pervades Peco’s strange compositions, which appear simultaneously grotesque and beautiful, repulsive and alluring. Flowers become more than familiar metaphors; rather, they are vessels for the artist to exercise her formal interest in painting and color theory.
