This is the last full week to view Project Gallery's duel solo exhibitions Henry Bermudez's "Con la Mirada en el Cielo" and Paul Santoleri's "Subterranean / Basement"
Bermudez continues his exploration of spiritually surreal imagery, combining his unique vision of pre-Colombian and Christian iconography. The complex arrangement of interlocking lines and colors are reminiscent of intricate Persian tapestries. The dense arrangement invites us to travel further into a realm of contemplation. Bermudez’s current body of work expands upon the tradition of cut-paper assemblage, expanding his surface to monumental proportions. The impressive scale confronts the viewer, while the subtle, enigmatic imagery draws one to “gaze to the heaven”.
Utilizing the unique exhibition possibilities of Project’s lower level, Paul Santoleri presents both large and small-scale works, as well as his site-specific blacklight-responsive wall paintings. Through spontaneous and free-formed animalistic and vegetal hybrids, one is able to view the spirit of creative energy that exists in all living things. Santoleri invites us to discover an underground world of color and light and to visit a phantasmal environ of his imagination.
Both Con La Mirada en el Cielo and Subterranean / Basement conclude May 31st, 2008. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Thursday noon to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday noon to 7 p.m.
