Wanderers Wonder Where, New Paintings & Drawings by Edelweiss Cardenas
In her first solo exhibition with LivingRoom Gallery, Edelweiss Cardenas shows new paintings and drawings that feature her “wanderers”. These free wheeling amoeboid forms putter, whiz, float, fall and plod past the viewers eyes in crisp, dark, intuitive line drawings and candy colored, patterned paintings. As they endlessly explore their surroundings, some displaced and others right at home, Cardenas’ figurative articulations emit a quixotic emotive power spanning everything from forlorn to fanciful.
Edelweiss Cardenas was born in Mexico and lives and works in Chicago. She received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009. She has previously exhibited at Marwen in 2008 and Murphy Hill Gallery in 2009.
Curated by Thea Liberty Nichols in conjunction with Home Room.
