Fernando Canovas "Connected Paintings"
The Gabarron Foundation Carriage House Center for the Arts
This event has ended.
For nearly thirty years, exploration of the various dimensions of painting – spatial, perceptual and allegorical – has been a constant feature in Fernando Canovas' work. "The Connected Paintings" work represents a different and perhaps unique phase. Here the accumulated experience of abstract surfaces and grids subsides into practically impenetrable curtains. Their intricate structure and color invite the viewer to pay attention, though it is precisely these aspects that complicate the viewing of the pictures. They are linked by umbilical geometrical lines that create a network. Everything in these paintings is paradoxical: they are flat, yet they suggest a complex profundity; they are relatively small, but they colonize the vast space around them, including the space occupied by the viewer.
