| Gil Mares' photographs are evocative, confined intensities. Kingdoms of color and light and shape, found in what is disguised as mundane sensory information,found in what is affixed to the ordinary objects and surfaces of our world:
What appears to the average eye as a beaten and barnacled bow of a ship
yields brilliant, abstracted panels of light and color in intricately orchestrated arrangements.
A tattered, peeling window on an old, abandoned building becomes a luminous phantasm, providing the focus for a previously overlooked psychic and sensory reality. A found community of forms. A population of objects in newly-acknowledged relationship.
Many of his pieces are hanging in our main showroom studio one. You are cordially invited to take in a moment of inspiring art any time you're in our neighborhood.
