Ofelia Rodríguez: Psychic Jungle

Bandaged mountains, hybrid bodies and sacred hearts populate the imaginative world of Colombian artist Ofelia Rodríguez in a survey spanning four decades. On view Saturday, November 14, 2026 through Sunday, July 25, 2027 at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum FIU, Ofelia Rodríguez: Psychic Jungle is the late artist’s first major solo exhibition in the United States.

Organized by the Frost Art Museum, the exhibition brings together paintings, drawings, prints, assemblages and Rodríguez’s signature “magic boxes.” Her work combines humor and critical observation, placing toys, anatomical fragments and religious imagery within a personal vocabulary of recurring symbols.

Shaped by her life in Barranquilla, Paris, New York and East London, Rodríguez’s practice draws on popular culture, memory and personal myth. Across these varied materials, she challenges exoticized representations and explores unconventional ways of telling stories.

Admission is free. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and closed Mondays and most legal and university holidays.
