Galería de Ida Victoria, located in the Gallery District in San José del Cabo, is excited to announce the opening of a very special solo exhibition for collage and mixed media artist Trisha Oldfield!

2/2/2016

During Art Walk on Thursday February 4th the gallery, along with Trisha will celebrate a new body of work entitled “An Evolution of The Colorful Life.” This series, containing 30 new works, were created over the last year in both Vancouver, BC and Todos Santos.

“This is a story of a little girl who lived in the arctic territories. Under the northern lights and on the land of the midnight sun. She found her passion for art and was taught how to use a paintbrush. But feeling no emotional connection to the snow or to the cold, the hands of destiny gradually guided her south towards the ocean. It was there where she fell in love with a sailor and created a family. The wild coast and natural island life was truly inspirational and nurturing to her creativity. But feeling no emotional connection to the rain and grey winters, the hands of destiny guided her once again…further south. This time they brought her to a Magical Town. In a warm and beautiful landscape where the whale met the cactus - a happy, sunny and adventurous place where she is inspired daily by all the Colorful Life that is there.”

Gallery owner Ida Victoria says, "I am very excited for this show! Trisha Oldfield has not been in the gallery for long, but in the short time that she has been, she has gained a following and her work sells quickly. Her collages are SO Mexico and perfect for our gallery- her pieces are colorful, edgy, whimsical but sophisticated & truly unique. Her love of Mexico and it's constant inspiration for her is evident, and technically I am amazed by her ability to combine such a wide variety of mediums so seamlessly to create these fantastic little worlds. Trisha and her work are a great addition to our gallery, proud to have her work here! I hope you join us to celebrate this new series next Thursday night and to meet Trisha. Look forward to seeing you!”

Trisha writes, “I have fallen in deep inspiration with the rich culture I’ve observed in Mexico for the past 15 years. The colors, the patterns, the people and their personalities and traditions and most of all, the diverse natural landscapes. This inspiration has resulted in a series I have been having a love affair with called “Colorful Life”. This series has thrown me into the arms of a medium called mixed media collage and I will never look back. I love collage because of its spontaneous, forgiving and narrative nature. It is therapeutic. I feel I can express myself better with this medium more than I can with just a paintbrush or with just a camera. It not only opens a world of impossible associations but can harmoniously link thoughts, styles and even artistic technique used throughout history. It breathes new life into old discarded forgotten art that should be appreciated and admired.”

Trisha Oldfield is an emerging multi-media collage artist. Her work possesses a distinctive contemporary style – a result of her strong background and experience in graphic design and commercial illustration. Her collages are composed of custom & vintage photographs and illustrations, acrylic paint, pouring mediums, specialty papers and wood - all orchestrated together into detailed and whimsical compositions.

Join us for a glass of wine and to celebrate Trisha Oldfield and her newest body of work, Thursday February 4th from 5-9pm, the artist will be in attendance! The show will be hanging for one month. If you are unable to celebrate with us at our opening event, but have an interest in these works, contact the gallery to receive a digital catalogue.
