From '5 Works Of Art To See In San Diego In September' (KPBS): Ivonne Garcia: 'La Bella Donna' On view at Thumbprint Gallery beginning Sept 11, 2021 Ivonne Garcia's papercut works are stark, fantastical, evocative and something between spooky and reverential — not unlike a Shirley Jackson novel. Her works often feature skulls, birds, serpents, botanicals, strange beasts and spiderwebs. And the contrast is lovely — almost all black and white, though there are sometimes splashes of color of shimmery metallics. The Italian "la bella donna" translates to "beautiful woman," but it is also a nod to the poisonous plant belladonna, or deadly nightshade. Historically used to dilate the pupils for beauty, eating the berries could also be fatal. In this work, Garcia surrounds an outstretched, sword-pierced wrist with intricate leaves, using textured ivory paper against a black background. Details: Exhibition information. Garcia's solo exhibition, "Encanto," opens Sept. 11, 2021 with a reception at 5 p.m., and runs through the end of the month. The gallery is open Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment. --Julia Dixon Evans, KPBSFrom the gallery: ***Masks are REQUIRED regardless of vaccination status*** We are proud to present 'Encanto,' featuring all new work by local artist Ivonne Garcia. Ivonne Garcia is an artist based out of San Diego, CA. Her penchant for knives has made its way into her repertoire of artistic medium with a focus on paper-cutting and silhouettes - designed to connect all things in the planar depths of simplicity and translating it into the emotional balance between the dark and the light. When not pouring away at her scalpels and inks, Ivonne spends her time living deliciously with her daughter and familiars, collecting oddities, keeping the art of snail mail alive, connecting with her Mexican roots, waiting for Halloween, and cultivating her ever growing Trucker’s Vocabulary.
