Banana Tree
Markers on canvas
12 × 16 in.
2026
In Banana Tree, Claudia Rivera Plaza celebrates one of the central motifs of her practice. Drawn entirely in marker, the work transforms the banana tree into a vibrant emblem of memory, place, and cultural inheritance. Confident lines and saturated color allow the familiar subject to oscillate between observation and imagination, reflecting Rivera Plaza's deeply personal visual vocabulary. The result is a composition that is both playful and rooted, honoring the everyday landscapes that continue to shape the artist's sense of home.
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.
