Magdalena Suarez Frimkess (b. 1929 in Caracas, Venezuela) lives and works in Venice, California. Suarez Frimkess is undoubtedly known for visual language is of a singular, interpersonal creation, candidly capturing of pop culture iconography, ancient histories, mythologies and intimate memory. According to Suarez Frimkess, this aesthetic is what continues to drive her practice as her freeform depictions of culturally sensitive chronologies act as a spontaneous agent for new dramas and mythos to emerge.

Suarez Frimkess will be the subject of a major retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) next year. It will be the first museum exhibition devoted to the artist’s work and will feature a selection of her drawings and ceramic works from the 70’s to present.
