Lions

Ana Fernandez re-contextualizes her San Antonio neighborhood, weaving elements of romanticism and the paranormal into large-scale paintings. Each mysterious home portrait is strewn with clues that decorate each home’s exterior. These works combine familiar domestic elements with subtle, sometimes eerie, hints of the unknown, the fantastic, and the supernatural. Fernandez summons the voyeur in us yet never fully reveals all of the personal secrets within each home. The sculpture of lions, signs on the speedbump, and house confronts the viewer and the invasion of privacy as you observe the house.
