IVA GUEORGUIEVA
30 January - 8 March 2014

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AMERINGER | McENERY | YOHE is pleased to 
announce an exhibition of recent works by Iva Gueorguieva. The exhibition 
will open on 30 January 2014 and will remain on view until 8 March 2014. A 
public reception for the artist will be held on 30 January from 6:00 to 8:00 
PM. A fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Elizabeth Frank 
accompanies the exhibition.

Comprised of interwoven layers of ripped and torn muslin, linen, potent 
pigments, and diluted washes of color, Iva Gueorguieva creates a palpable 
energy and sense of kinetic frenzy that reverberates through her turbulent 
paintings and skeleton-like sculptures.

She works on multiple paintings at once, all at varying degrees of 
completion, to take advantage of the spontaneous nature of the process 
to conjoin sometimes-divergent thoughts into assemblages of chaotic 
symmetry. The sculptures, like the paintings, derive from the artist's 
organic, no holds barred method of production.

In a mode signaling a firm grasp of modern Abstraction, Gueorguieva 
seamlessly intertwines the energy and movement of the Italian Futurists 
and the fragmentary planes of Analytic Cubism with the allusion of 
Matissean like figurations. All the while rejecting the formal dogma of 
those movements, Gueorguieva subverts the seemingly hollow 
abstractions with an infusion of intimate narrative - the very marrow of the 
artist - to create an imperfect harmony within her works.

Iva Gueorguieva was born in Bulgaria in 1974. She received an MFA from 
the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia.

Gueorguieva has had recent solo exhibitions at such venues as ACME., Los 
Angeles, CA; Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, Los Angeles, CA; 
BravinLee Programs, New York, NY; Lux Art Institute, Encinitas, CA; Angles 
Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Stitching Outline, Amsterdam, Netherlands; and 
Pomona Museum of Art, Claremont, CA.

Recent group exhibitions include Galerie Lelong, New York, NY; the 
Contemporary Art Museum, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL; 
Pasadena Museum of Art, Pasadena, CA; and Dunn and Brown 
Contemporary, Dallas, TX.

Her work is included in many public and private collections including the 
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; the Minneapolis 
Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN; and The Museum of Contemporary Art, 
Los Angeles, CA. She is the recipient of the Orange County Contemporary 
Collectors Fellowship Award in 2012, the California Community Foundation 
Mid-Career Fellowship in 2010, and the Pollock-Krasner Grant in 2006.

Gueorguieva lives and works in Los Angeles.
