Paintings explore psychological spheres and environments with rich ambiguity.
Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) October 23, 2005 -- Zeitgeist Gallery presents Connecting Points: paintings by Lisie S. Orjuela. October 24-November 7, with an opening reception on Saturday, October 29, 3-6 pm.
Reminiscent of woven textiles, with layers of thoughts intertwined with feelings and experiences, Orjuela’s Connecting Points series features richly colored and textured figurative images. Each painting visually taps into the inner world of the psyche, spirit, soul.
Orjuela's main interest lies in the interior dimensions, the psychological spheres and environments, hence the lack of recognizable placement for the human figures. Instead they dissolve and then emerge out of the surrounding ground, interacting with it, being a part of it. Ever vibrant and on the move these paintings explores rising up from difficulty and because of that they are quite timely.
These paintings are not only weighty in content, they are also hefty in size. with most of the pieces having dimensions of approximately 4ft. by 4ft., Orjuela's Connecting Points are large visually and mentally.
Originally from south America, Orjuela currently lives and paints in Connecticut. Orjuela is a founding member of the vibrant ALL ART gallery (arts & literature laboratory) in New Haven, Ct. Orjuela’s solo exhibit at the Zeitgeist Gallery will be running concurrently with another Connecting Points solo exhibit at the Edward Williams Gallery, Farleigh Dickinson University, in Hackensack NJ. the New Jersey exhibit runs from October 3d-November 4th.
