Re-Fresh
Lyle O. Reitzel is pleased to announce the Group Exhibition “Re-Fresh”, opening Thursday August 15th featuring recent works by Gustavo Peña, Santiago Ydañez, Luis Cruz Azaceta, Edouard Duval-Carríe, Jose García Cordero, Gerard Ellis. The gallery has invited the artists Walkind Rodriguez (DR), Fernanda Brunet (MX), Pierre Monestier (FR), Melissa Mejía-Rizik and Fernando Varela for the exhibit.
Re-Fresh intertwines a crisp selection of otherworldly landscapes. These unrecognizable places’ conductive thread speaks to abstract versus figurative painting. Highlighting Ice Crack, a new painting by Gustavo Peña where we can hear the cracking of a glacier generated by using very thick paint strokes with a palette knife, we get both the aesthetic experience with the sheen of oil paint and the artist’s concerns on climate change.
