Elizabeth Ryono: Perra Linda

Elizabeth Ryono: Perra Linda is a small exhibition and fundraiser that will help support the exhibitions and public programs at the ICA. Each unique painting will be available for purchase in the gallery for a limited time.

Artists often find inspiration from their surrounding environment, travels, and happen-chance moments throughout the day. For Bay Area-based artist Elizabeth Ryono, it is no different. Perra Linda, translated from Spanish to English means “beautiful dog,” is the title for her show and fundraiser for the ICA. The title comes from the inspiration for this body of work: a peculiar wood carved dog sculpture from Mexico, found advertisement paper, and a poem by Billy Collins.
