Adriana Cora

Beauty is not the subject of Adriana Cora’s mixed media canvases, but rather the raw material from which they are created, tweaked and repeated in layers across multiple works. The basic units of her compositions are nude female figures and images of roses, set against color fields of red, white or black. In places the flowers engulf the image, covering every area and corner with petals and stems. Cora conveys an almost Warholian delight in repetition and process, testing different combinations of flower patterns, color schemes and models, to delightful effect.
