Dallas Design District gallery, Laura Rathe Fine Art, announces Naturaleza, a solo exhibition featuring new works by celebrated porcelain artist, Lucrecia Waggoner. LRFA will be hosting an opening reception on Saturday, October 9th, from 1-8 pm. Artist will be in attendance.
I consider my work minimalist, yet expressive: a direct extension of my passionate personality and rich cultural background. – Lucrecia Waggoner
Lucrecia Waggoner was born and raised in Mexico City; her culture and upbringing has had a profound influence on her work. Her installations stem from a blend of her journey into reinvigorating ancient cultural artistry and experiences traveling to the far East, as well as scenic landscapes of Texas and Mexico.
Waggoner’s work features organic forms that transcend physical space, evoking feelings of weightlessness and serenity. By incorporating various materials in her work, including precious metals, such as 22k Gold, palladium, and bronze, she illuminates each individual vessel and translates the phenomena of the natural world through the versatility of ceramics.
Naturaleza will be on display through November 13th, 2021.
