Description

Sofia Arreguin. "Palm Frown". 32 x 22 inches. Signed edition of 50. $200. Often warping common objects and symbols into the absurd or fetishized, Sofia Arreguin creates unexpected paintings, sculptures, and videos with fun and quotidian subject matter like pillows, aliens, a shovel, toys, a footrest, T.V. trays, picture frames and pizza. Here Arreguin's fresh image serves as a playful smirk to the artist's hometown of Los Angeles. Carefully depicted with detailed vibrancy, Arreguin anthropomorphizes her palm tree by contorting its familiar, sprightly fronds into a shy bend.
