Inherited

Join 4Most Gallery for the last show of the semester Friday, December 5 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for the solo exhibition, “Inherited” by Maria del Pilar Arrieta. This exhibition will be on view through December 12.

Artist Statement: 
“My paintings seek to speak about identity—about who we are and why we are here. I explore the material and symbolic elements layering references to folkloric indigenous art from Peru, to investigate the idea of symbolic culture that exist as an inherent form of resistance in identity.

Through the exploration of medium in my painting, I create a surreal space of three dimension through flatness transcending cultural fragments and layers that engage with questions from the old historical landscape to the modern, intersecting with personal experiences. Through my paintings, I delve into memories thinking of places where I lived or the nearby, as a response to displacement, transitions, and social disruption.”
