NYAB Event - Ernani Silva "The Organic Series"

Ernani Silva "The Organic Series"

New Century Artists, Inc.

This event has ended.

“The Earth is a rich palette of living color,” says Silva, “which woos every artist and compels him or her to put paint to canvas. When we destroy the Earth, we are silencing the magical Muse of nature, tearing at her life and leaving her in despair. Through the Organic Series I hope to remind everyone that we are one Creation. We are all organic, one living planet, and we are nature.”

In this series Ernani joyously unifies organic substances with paint to pound out rhythm and release, build depth and texture, pours on passion and sensuality, to infuse the canvas with the sparkling facets of natural color and form. He loves to integrate a mustard yellow curry or the burnt red of paprika, for example, into his work because these everyday spices exemplify rich hues that cannot be easily replicated on an artist’s palette. He reclaims what we toss away –rich brown coffee grounds, carbon black mussel shells, and pearly white dried beans. He reinterprets the commonplace in dynamic new ways, thus raising the ordinary to high art.
