Shoulder Pests
Markers on paper
24 × 19 in.
2026
In Shoulder Pests, Claudia Rivera Plaza embraces the immediacy of drawing, allowing figures to emerge through fluid lines, saturated color, and intuitive mark-making. Rendered entirely in marker, the work balances humor, tenderness, and unease, creating a scene that feels both familiar and dreamlike. Rivera Plaza's compositions often resist fixed narratives, instead inviting viewers to project their own relationships, memories, and emotional associations onto the forms that gather across the page.
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.
