ESPACIO VIVO: The New, The Comeback, The Unexpected.
Lyle O. Reitzel Gallery founded in 1995, celebrates 23 years of uninterrupted trajectory representing the national and international contemporary art scene. LOR Gallery introduces their new collective show titled “Espacio Vivo: The New, The Comeback, The Unexpected” in their Santo Domingo headquarters this 23rd of November, 2018.
This exhibition comprises of a body of work composed by several artists of different backgrounds, style and generations.
The New is represented by the emerging Spanish Duo “Los Bravú”. Dea Gómez (1988) and Diego Omil (1989) established in Pontevedra, Spain. The artists came together to create a unique language influenced by Italian Renascentist iconography juxtaposed with contemporary elements. In addition, renowned artist Jesús Zurita (Ceuta, 1975) established in Granada, Spain, introduces pieces defined by his attention to detail and his relationship with images and media, which is why film, animation, comics and literature are key items in his work.
The Comeback of Cuban artist Gustavo Acosta (1958) solidifies the show with his enigmatic compositions in which architecture, symbolism and abstract imagery trigger the spectators collective memory. Starring The Unexpected is Dominican artist Juan Mayí (1963), whose explosive and expressive brushstrokes complement his experimental abstractionism, resulting in captivating artwork.
