More Talbot Rice Gallery opens the first solo exhibitions in the UK by Gabrielle Goliath and Guadalupe MaravillaEDINBURGH.- Talbot Rice Gallery announces the first solo exhibitions in the UK to open October 26, 2024 by Gabrielle Goliath and Guadalupe Maravilla.

More François Ghebaly opens an exhibition of works by Los Angeles-based Argentinian painter Patricia Iglesias Peco LOS ANGELES, CA.- For her latest exhibition, Los Angeles-based Argentinian painter Patricia Iglesias Peco continues her exploration of the natural world by drawing influence from the Uruguayan poet Marosa di Giorgio (1932-2004) and the feminine cosmology elaborated in her writing.

In these surreal worlds conjured on the page, Iglesias Peco finds a matrix through which to extend her signature vocabulary of images and gestures. The garden which is central to di Giorgios work comes to life in a state of constant metamorphosis where flowers, women, birds, and celestial bodies ...
