Las Hermanas Iglesias

From the series: ma is as selfless as i am (LLL)

2018

This mixed media work by Las Hermanas Iglesias combines painting materials including gouache, flashe, and ink applied across two sheets of paper with three dimensional elements of acrylic and wool yarn mounted on stretcher bars. The piece is part of a series that explores themes of selflessness through its title, suggesting a conceptual or biographical undercurrent beneath its material complexity. The layering of both flat and sculptural components creates a dialogue between painterly gesture and textile form, characteristic of the duo's practice that merges drawing, painting, and installation techniques.

Medium
Gouache, flashe, graphite and ink on 2 sheets of paper, acrylic and wool yarn, stretcher bars
