Súper Trópico
Lyle O. Reitzel Gallery presents the new Solo Show by dominican artist living in New York, Scherezade García (n.1966), with the name “Súper Trópico”. The opening will take place Thursday, October 15th 2015 in the Gallery located in Piantini, Santo Domingo. The artist defines it in her own words: "This new group of paintings and drawings named "Super Tropic" is part of the series "Theories of Freedom" a work based on the contemporary conception (and always) for the exercise and diverse universe of what we call freedom. In "Super Tropic" I let myself be seduced again by the sea that surrounds us. The sea always provokes my imagination and with its "sway" is the map of stories about freedom and slavery. The color, the contradictions, extreme sun, the new race, the roots of the American experience are the essence of my stories. The new race thus creates a new aesthetic with new parameters and rules appropriating and transforming values. "Super Tropic" leads me to paint again and becomes a love note to my world and colorful floating ends”.
