Description: Painting by Diana Guerrero-Maciá, The Devil’s Daughter is Getting Married (wool, dye, deconstructed clothing and textiles on canvas, 57.5" x 49.5", 2020). The image illustrates a later stage in Diana Guerrero-Maciá's career from the 2010s and early 2020s: her hybrid or "unpainted paintings" which shifted emphasis from text toward borrowed symbols and archetypal forms that she cut, dyed and stitched into bold, geometric compositions. These works connected ubiquitous icons with art historical references through graphic schemes. In the case of this work and series, she presented paper collages and monumental gridded fields of cut cloth ornamented with three-dimensional props and familiar design motifs, which explored the visual pleasure of decoration, as well as subtle narratives about the ambitions of modernist abstraction, needlework and feminism, and myth. This work and similar works were publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications, and acquired by museums.
