About this Event
The pieces are based on photographs taken by the artist during his frequent trips to Argentina. It comprises abstractions of rural and urban landscapes from different parts of the country. They’re painted on paper, canvas and wood panels, and, as the artist puts it, “are not meant to be exact photographic representations; I don’t even paint what my eyes have seen.” The paintings “reflect what the colors, the rocky formations, the mountains, impress upon me.” Painted sometimes geometrically, others more organic, the pieces emphasize, colors, textures, shapes, and reflections of the subjects at hand. The show runs through the end of January, 2022.
Curated by Ksenia Orol, Director, Touchstone Gallery, Washington DC
