CAMILA RODRIGO'S FORMS IN LA GALERÍA

From 04/09/2025 to 05/10/2025
Lima, Perú

La Galería presents La forma resignificada (The Redefined Form), a solo painting exhibition by Peruvian visual artist. The show brings together a remarkable selection of 14 recent medium- and large-format works created using mixed media on canvas.

CAMILA RODRIGO'S FORMS IN LA GALERÍA

In her paintings, Camila Rodrigo constructs perceptual layers through sensual applications of color and texture, using them to give structure to the pictorial plane. It is crucial to highlight that, for the artist, black is a transcendent color.

 

At the beginning of the process, the canvas—stretched over a frame—lies on the floor, awaiting decantation. From nothingness, in the apparent void the support offers the eye, a methodical ritual begins, marked by serenity and concentration, giving form to an imagined latency. These layers and levels are expressive sedimentations of the artist’s temperament: subtle and precise, delicate and stripped down.

Something begins to take form—and perhaps meaning—at the very moment when pigments, generously applied across the surface of the canvas and dissolved in fluid agents, begin to dry like a veined skin. This drying unfolds within a temporal order that Camila Rodrigo organizes, controls, and supervises as part of her commitment to achieving the demands of her deeply personal visual approach.

 

“Camila Rodrigo is immersed in abstract painting and surrenders to the creation of the canvas surface with speed and precision. The painting is that two-dimensional surface that, once painted, condenses into a single reality—an illusory space devoid of dimensions, unfathomable to the viewer’s eye; as subtle and transparent, almost made of light and air, as it is dense and stirring. The pictorial space is pure creation,” says Jorge Villacorta, curator of the exhibition.

Camila Rodrigo (Lima, 1987) holds a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from San Ignacio de Loyola University (Lima, 2010); she has taken photography courses at the Centro de la Imagen (Lima, 2006) and at the Rhode Island School of Design (USA, 2009). Notably, the artist has been selected to exhibit her work at La Galería’s booth during the upcoming Pinta Lima 2025 art fair in Lima.

 

La forma resignificada will be on view until May 10 at LA GALERÍA, located at Conde de la Monclova 255 – San Isidro, Buenos Aires (Argentina).
