Maria Gordon is a self-taught illustrator and designer based in Madrid. Her work is inspired by European folk art, children’s illustration, and her own vivid and delicate pictorial world. In her work, if highly decorative and pleasing, each figure, fruit and flower carries a meaning or symbolism that changes and deepens the work’s meaning.
This collection of watercolours demonstrates the recurrent themes and imagery in her world of contrasts: where innocence and experience, purity and lust, flora and fauna, city and country settings, all battle while co-existing in a lyrical balance.
Two recurring themes in Gordon's work are present in this piece: the goat and the sun. The "animals under the sun series" is the result of many influences, but the idea of all living things perishing under the sun is one very present through Maria's work in this exhibition, most vividly in this other piece.
