“New Works”

by Seco

March 18-April 10, 2010

The next exhibit at Gallery 255 will be new work by the local Ojai artist known as Seco.

The artist’s reception is scheduled on Saturday March 20 from 5:00 – 8:00 pm.

Seco’s exhibit will also be open for April First Friday April 2nd 5:00 – 8:00 pm.

The exhibit is a collection of Seco’s recent work in mixed media on paper in a small to medium format. Seco’s gestural drawings are of classical musicians and nudes. The drawings of the musicians were sketched during rehearsals of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, last November, when they were preparing Verdi's Requiem, under the baton of the Maestro Gustavo Dudamel.

In the artist’s words: “These works on paper are inspired in the spirit of the gesture, the blind drawing, the emotional approach to the image that contains everything including invisibility; they try to capture the physical weight of music on the air and the form of the dreams of a nude model in a pose...these drawings remind me of a quote from painter Paul Gauguin: "In order to see, I close my eyes..." “
