Artist's Choice // students of the Fred Rawlinson Atelier in Fratelli's Cafe Gallery

ABOUT THE SHOW "Artists  think and feel  in a particular medium. Their  special meaning  is conceived and expressed in colors, shapes, forms, lines, textures, value and contrast.

Light And Shadow - Luz y Sombras // Agustin Díaz and Francisco Gonzalez in Visitors Center Gallery

About The Show Life is a duality which is expressed and creates destiny, it is an internal fight between positivity and negativity, between the truth and the absence of it; and it is determined by the search of authenticity or imitation. Light floods everything, revealing a world of shapes and colors, obscurity gives us shadows and the tones that compliment it. “Light and Shadows” are eternal opposites that reach a harmonic equilibrium in the plastic arts that we present to you here....
