Alicia Reyes McNamara's solo presentation as part of Drawing Room's Invites series follows their participation in the Drawing Biennale 2024.
Born in Chicago to Mexican and Irish heritage, their work navigates a syncretic use of spiritual symbolism through a distinctly queer lens. Soft pastels that walk you through deep understandings of iconography with fantastical landscapes. The work reminds us that the divine is often rooted in the earthly forms.
There is a softness to the drawings, but the ideas are sharp. Ecstasy, temptation, folklore, all colliding in vivid compositions that feel sacred and subversive.
Don’t miss the chance to see their work.
