Untitled (Birth Print), 2019

Edition of 30 + 2 APs

£3,000 (incl.VAT)

On the occasion of her first institutional solo exhibition, Luchita Hurtado has produced two Limited Edition prints. Throughout her career, 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. Titled I Live I Die I Will Be Reborn, the exhibition captures the artist’s intimate and mystical visual language that is underpinned by our connectivity with and responsibility to the natural world.

This Limited Edition (edition of 30 + 2APs) has been produced with printmaker, Jacob Samuel, and is inspired by one of Hurtado’s ‘birthing’ works, a new series of paintings made in the last twelve months and presented for the first time at the Serpentine Galleries. Continuing the inversion of perspectives that Hurtado has experimented with throughout her career, such as looking down or across her own body, this monochromatic, hand-printed work depicts a pregnant body in the process of giving birth, executed through expressionistic contours and washes of light and dark.

Please note: As this is a framed Edition, please allow a 2-3 week turnaround for the bespoke frame to be made until your order is ready.

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.
