Adriana Duque
A contemporary rewriting of court portraiture. Light built in the studio as a question about who gets into art history.
Practice
Adriana Duque makes photographs that read as classical painting and as contemporary conversation at once. Her Meninas series revisits Velázquez through the bodies, identities and geographies that court painting left out.
“The light in her work opens an urgent question: who deserves to be in a painting, and who decides which bodies enter art history.”
