A new exhibition is opening at This Century Art Gallery featuring abstract works by Luis Corchon and sculpture by Williamsburg artist, Polly Nunn.
Luis Corchon was born in Cordoba, Argentina and has lived in the D.C. area since 1987. He graduated as Professor of Fine Arts from the Provincial School of Fine Arts and has studied at the National School of Monserrat and the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba. His work has been exhibited in both Americas and then on to China next year.
What Corchon has to say about his work
“I don’t see my paintings just as an interpretation of music, I see my work as an orchestration of new music, a symphony of paintings, if you will. Each painting incorporates different rhythms and repetitions to create continuity and fluidity within the “song”. These areas of transparency give the impression of transience, like a note played, suspended briefly in the air, and disappearing as the next note follows.”
“My latest series – Script/Geminis – is a new approach to music. In these new paintings I return to an instinctual gut reaction to art. I search to find my initial, instinctual graphical esthetic: a return to a more basic and primitive feeling, in which I combine improvisational movements inspired by the music.” Each painting has been described as truly musical in spirit, with its diversity of color tones and shapes that flow harmoniously across the canvas.
Polly Nunn is known for her large, bold and engaging flower paintings. This exhibition features her clay sculptures also inspired by nature.
