Heather Christian Iglesias

Old Mississippi Factory
Acrylic

“Old Mississippi Factory” by Heather Christian Iglesias has an eerie, moody feel using low-keyed values that hint at painterly nuanced temperature shifts. The work possesses a simplicity and directness of material handling and honesty in its depiction of a surviving rural grain elevator and silo complex. The work suggests the merging of early modernist and American Regionalists traditions of the 30’s.
