Anna Valdez’s “Natural Curiosity” at Hashimoto NYC.

Opening Saturday, October 5th, 2019 at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City is artist Anna Valdez’s solo exhibition, “Natural Curiosity.”

Well known for her uniquely stylistic still-life paintings, Valdez returns with a new crop of vibrant works and hand-painted ceramics. The pieces comprising Natural Curiosity probe further into Valdez’s daily practice of observation and documentation. Unfurling her signature palette of rich reds, bright yellows and sumptuous surfaces, the exhibition is visual poetry at work, at once rooted in art historical practices while also remaining faithful to the present moment. Flora and fauna spill from her larger-than-life canvases, punctuated by found objects, carefully placed and arranged from around the studio. Strewn throughout these compositions is the recent addition of her very own hand-painted ceramic vases and flowerpots, many of which have been thoughtfully displayed alongside their two-dimensional counterparts. 

The exhibition will be on view until October 26th, 2019.
