Luchita Hurtado (b. 1920 in Maiquetía, Venezuela) dedicated over eighty years of her extensive oeuvre to the investigation of universality and transcendence. Throughout her career, Luchita Hurtado has created an extensive body of paintings, drawings and prints that bear witness to a dedicated and intense engagement with the world around her. I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn was her first solo exhibition in a public institution and follows the trajectory of her practice, from her earliest surviving work of the late 1930s, through early experiments with abstraction in the 1940s and 50s, to later works that foreground the body as their starting point. The plurality of styles and techniques that mark Hurtado’s 80 years of working speak to the geographies and events that have shaped her life. Born in 1920 in Maiquetía, Venezuela, she emigrated to the United States in 1928 and later travelled extensively in Mexico, before settling in Santa Monica, California, in 1951, where she has resided ever since.
