Alfredo Garcia's series, "Abstract Elegance", conveys the innate beauty of his
natural environment. He uses decorative and spirited visual patterns and
earthly tones in his art, which mirror his reactions to social situations and nature. By embracing
this motif, Garcia imbues poetry and elegance into his assemblages. Garcia
introduces two new additions to his series , "Snakes by the Tulip"
and "The Waves of Life". Both pieces
employ a highly energetic aesthetic which corresponds with the heart of nature,
while also capturing the intricate patterns of socialization.
In
"Snakes by the Tulip", Garcia shows a raised contour of a tulip surrounded
by maze-like spirals, embedded into the paint.
The spirals mostly reveal a rusty blue color, yet are also enriched with
subtle hints of pink and green. This approach unifies the spirals with the
background, which is predominantly a soft petal beige, evoking the freshness of
spring. The overall composition is
charged with powerful textured strokes, which mimics the dynamic energy of
nature.
Viewers may
also recognize the biblical undertones in "Snakes by the Tulip". By integrating
rhythmic lines, which represent serpents, a symbol of evil, Garcia makes
reference to the story of Adam and Eve. For
this reason, the snakes may be interpreted as the antagonizing force within
nature's beautiful organic realm.
"Waves
of Life" also correspond with nature's essence, yet Garcia takes a more
heavily abstract approach in this art piece. The entire composition is composed of brisk diagonal
brushstrokes, which leave texture at each edge.
This creates the impression of intense rain pore, falling thunderously
downward. Moreover, the use of clay-like browns and moldy greens evoke an
earthly feel that is typical among Alfredo's nature inspired art work.
Both the "Waves of Life" and "Snakes
by the Tulip" make a powerful and thematically consistent contribution to
Garcia's Abstract Elegance series. By
appreciating these works both formally and symbolically, viewers are moved by
the these imaginative expressions of the
natural world.
