Paola Oxoa (b. 1979 Medellín, Colombia) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in the Hudson Valley, New York.
Oxoa’s abstract paintings and films are investigations into, and recordings of moments of awareness. Through her work, she reflects and seeks to understand the world within and without. By fusing landscape and the body as fluid containers of shared energies, she moves beyond representing what is seen in favor of what is felt, intuited, or understood. Oxoa’s work synthesizes and communicates perceptual experience via the formal elements of art.
Oxoa had her first solo exhibition, True Love (2004), at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, CO. Oxoa’s work is in the permanent collection of the Bass Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami Beach, FL. Her work has been reviewed in Two Coats of Paint, NYLON Magazine, Art in America, Artillery Magazine, Rocky Mountain News, and The Denver Post among other publications.
Oxoa founded Mother Gallery within her studio in Beacon, NY in 2018. Oxoa’s curatorial work via Mother has been featured or reviewed in publications including Hyperallergic, The Art Newspaper, Two Coats of Paint, Artnet, The Brooklyn Rail, New York Magazine, Whitewall, & The New York Times.
