Nica Ferguson is an abstract painter and filmmaker. She studied art in the Masters program at UCSD, and has worked for HBO on series and films in Rome, London, Virginia and Los Angeles. Her films have received recognition at numerous international film festivals, and she is the recipient of the Mèdailles d’Honneur de la Ville de Bruxelles. Her artwork is informed by her years living in Italy, and recall the abstract Color Field paintings of the 1960s. Themes of memory and geography are explored in the intersection of light and heavy strokes, and pure opaque pigment against faded tint. Her latest series of paintings, Ricordi di Roma (Roman Memories) invoke the dialectics of such personal and social memory; a visualization of the space between time and culture, earth and sky. Her paintings have been shown in Los Angeles at The Mandrake; The Writers Junction; Kao Pao Shu Showroom; Alexander Salazar Fine Art, Pink Lagoon, Blended Industries, various art shows, and her own gallery, Del Covo Contemporary, located at 1264 Prospect Street in La Jolla.
