Loveseat
Oil pastels, markers, and grommets on canvas
17 × 10 in.
2024
In Loveseat, Claudia Rivera Plaza transforms an everyday object into a site of memory, intimacy, and play. Built through expressive layers of oil pastel and marker, the work embraces the immediacy of drawing while the addition of grommets gives the canvas a physical presence beyond the picture plane. Rivera Plaza's bold use of color and instinctive mark-making creates a composition that feels at once domestic and dreamlike, where familiar forms become vessels for emotion rather than description.
On view as part of Claudia Rivera Plaza's solo exhibition at duck-rabbit coffee in Ohio City, organized by SHED Projects and curated by Jillian Blackwell.
