Santi Moix “On som ara?”
Pace Prints Gallery
This event has ended.
Pace Prints presents an exhibition of new monoprints by Santi Moix.
Santi Moix: On som ara? is an exhibition of new works that are an explosion of biomorphic forms. Fantastical images combine the painter’s bold brushwork with a draftsman’s sensitivity to line. Creating colorful forms that resemble mandalas and foliage, Moix marries his two signature styles in monotype, which was chosen for its immediacy and directness. Several pieces include the addition of hand drawn collage elements.
Literature and art history are frequently points of departure in the artist’s work, culling imagery from historical manuscripts, American novels and his own œuvre. In this body of work, the gestural and abstract mingles with the figurative and botanical to produce a world that is Moix’s own. “My job is to freeze a moment in time, remove gravity,” says the artist, “The moment before a flower dies, before an explosion dissipates, and attempt to put the chaotic into order.”
Several of these new works will be on view concurrently at Pace Prints Chelsea, 521 West 26th Street.
