Lala Drona (b. 1988) is a Venezuelan-American painter and video artist, born in Denver, Colorado. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Colorado, Lala Drona has since published and exhibited her work internationally. Most recently, her videos and paintings exploring digital spaces and the female gaze, were shown at the Cite des Arts de Paris. Her paintings, videos, and writing explore the monstrous feminine, alternate realities, and void of the digital world. The totality of her artwork contributes to, and exists within a fictional universe and mythology established online and then recontextualized in the physical world through paint on canvas, performance, and sculpture. Her paintings and videos create an intimate and uncanny sense of unease, adding depth to her oeuvre and compelling viewers to consider the impact of institutional structures on individual identity. Lala Drona’s body of work engages with broader social and cultural issues. She is based in Paris, France.
In this episode, we talk about how she developed her practices, her journey of self acceptance, and the complexities surrounding female bodies.
