Chilean Artist Ana Maria Garces R. Creates Serene Atmospheres on Canvas
Chelsea's Agora Gallery announced they will host a collective art exhibition that is scheduled to run from September 8, 2009 through September 29, 2009.
NEW YORK, NY, September 09, 2009 /Art and Artists PR News/ -- The brilliant colors and dazzling forms that characterize the tradition of Latin American art are still found in contemporary painting today. The talented artists collected here channel their zest for life, transforming it into energetic paintings that explore the individual world while celebrating the beautiful people and places that surround it. Masters of the Imagination offers a rare chance to experience the nuances of fine art by Latin American artists, not merely with the eyes, but the heart.
Chilean artist Ana María Garces R. combines carefully rendered figuration with expressive, painterly marks. She creates serene atmospheres on canvas, using multiple media to capture the contrast between texture and delicacy. Her works thus convey contemplation and quietude as diverse and complex entities. Ethereal, transparent figures almost float on the surfaces of Garces R.'s paintings, seemingly lost in their own internal dialogues. Text, waves of color or lightly rendered draperies create the introspective environment that the figures inhabit, while geometric shapes and subtle lines give the paintings a vague, architectural sense of place.
Garces R. has been observing the figure and drawing from life for over a decade. Her art-making process organically emphasizes the importance of perceiving and reflecting on the world's physical, emotional and cultural dimensions. Her paintings simultaneously convey the body's natural beauty, its internal depth, and its role as a social communicant. Garces R., who has a background in textile design as well as in fine art, lives and works in Lo Barnechea, Santiago, Chile.
