Iva Gueorguieva
Iva Gueorguieva’s complex abstract paintings are awash with color, movement and texture. Layering cut fabric, paper and paint on the surface of the canvas to create seemingly chaotic compositions, she notes that the action of creating is for her a way of thinking about space and time. The artist adapted this complicated, spontaneous and highly individualized way of working to the collaborative environment of the printmaking studio. The subtle and nervous lines and shapes are achieved through an encyclopedic array of processes—direct gravure, spitbite aquatint, drypoint, woodcut, lithography and silkscreen—and punctuated by delicate chine collé elements. The mixed media prints, while clearly linked to her painting, add another dimension to her artistic practice.
Born in Bulgaria, Iva Gueorguieva emigrated to the United States in 1990 and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She received her B.A. in Philosophy from Goucher College in Baltimore and her M.F.A. from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, where she studied painting.
Her recent solo shows include Ameringer/ McEnery/ Yohe, NY; Bravin Lee Programs, New York, NY; LUX Art Institute, Encinitas, CA; Angles Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Stichting Outline, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Pomona Museum of Art, Claremont, CA. Notable group shows among others include Galerie Lelong, New York, NY; the Contemporary Art Museum at USF, Tampa, FL; Pasadena Museum of Art, Pasadena, CA; Dunn and Brown Contemporary, Dallas, TX. Her work is included in many public and private collections including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA. Her work is represented by Ameringer| McEnery | Yohe in New York. She is the recipient of the California Community Foundation mid-career fellowship for 2010 and the Pollock-Krasner Grant for 2006. She has upcoming solo shows at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects in 2012 and Stefan Ropke Gallery in Cologne, Germany is 2013.
