Victoria Reynolds: Flesh to Flora
Flesh to Flora marks Reynolds recent shift in focus from meat to vegetable matter. Through March 12 at Richard Heller Gallery.
Reynolds was born in 1962 in Tyler, Texas and lives and works in Los Angeles. Her exhibition “Flesh to Flora” marks her recent shift in focus from meat to vegetable matter. For over a decade Reynolds has rendered detailed and sensual paintings of tri-tip sirloin, reindeer viscera, brisket, pork bung, and honeycomb tripe. The newer work depicts vegetable imagery—peaches, cherries, prickly pear, Japanese eggplant, bean sprouts, strawberry preserves, and hibiscus—often thickly drenched in coconut cream, whipped cream, and sweet Karo corn syrup. The resulting textures and transparencies visually recall her meat compositions. These ultra close-up views, which can become organic abstractions, focus on overabundance fecundity.
