Migration: A Gallery

On our gallery tour we stopped by Migration to see their current show of Arturo Mallmann's beautiful work and introduce Martha to the owner Laura. This description of the show from their web site:

Arturo Mallmann's paintings are akin to thin sculptures that you can hang on the wall. His builds so many layers into each work that the depth you are drawn to in the images is not only an illusion; it is real. Mallmann's technique - to layer acrylic paint and resin and sand in between - is something he developed after years of work to convey his personal beliefs about light and darkness and their part in any journey and indeed in the human condition. His paintings simply beckon you to join him on his necessary and magical journey. We will show new work that adds more saturated color to his previously subdued palette.

Interestingly I just saw Eric Finzi's show at Heineman Myes, Eric is an artist who also uses resin, the surface was very similar but subject matter and textures unique to each artist.
