Marina Iglesias

Steve Turner is pleased to present La montaña más cercana, a solo exhibition featuring new paintings by Valencia-based Marina Iglesias.

The exhibition is inspired by the idea of visiting ‘the closest mountain’, an experience that Iglesias compares to painting, something that nourishes but also challenges.

The paintings are based on folklore, medieval and Renaissance painting, myth, tarot and ancient scientific illustration. Familiar and invented imagery are intermingled.
Verdant landscapes, animals, flowers and trees provide the setting for strange, biomorphic fountains and silent female characters.

Marina Iglesias (born in 1991, Puerto Real, Cádiz, Spain) earned a BA in Fine Arts and an MA in Artistic Production at the Universitat Politècnica de València. She had a solo exhibition at Tuesday to Friday Gallery, Valencia (2021) and had her work included in group exhibitions at Eligere Gallery, Seoul and Kiaf, Seoul (2022). This is her first exhibition at Steve Turner.
