Isa Goico: Passing Through: Portraits of Gender Rebellion

This exhibit features a collection of paintings by Dominican-American artist, Isa Goico (they/elle). Their practice focuses on the intersection of self-mythology and gender liberation. Goico utilizes photographic queer archive, community members, and local drag artists as inspiration. Passing Through is a compilation of paintings that reflect the unique individual experience of gender. “In painting queer individuals in everyday settings, I am celebrating the impact trans lives have on the Ithaca community at large. The portraits aim to honor and thank the Ithacans that are bravely themselves in an increasingly anti-trans political climate. You can find their work at isagoico.com or on Instagram at @isagoico

The exhibition features a series of small gouache paintings on scrap board salvaged in Ithaca. In addition to the serial work, the exhibition features 3 large scale oil portraits completed during Goico’s time as an undergraduate at Cornell.
