This installation of more than twenty canvases, both large and small, is an invitation into a dynamic, multi-layered, world pulsing with life like an urban heartbeat. Expressions presents vignets of modern life collaged together with fragments and mementos from Amadea’s life and travels; an entrance ticket to a European museum, fragments of foreign city maps, discarded pieces of fabric. “I love the fact that no two paintings are alike, each one has its own unique history, encapsulating a passage of time in my own life. I love the sensual physical aspect of painting, moving across a large surface, playing with deep brilliant colors and building up the surfaces with textures and creating a world from found papers, fabrics, and mementos from my travels and my life. Anything can find its way into one of my paintings, the process is organic and intuitive.” Expressions is a brightly optimistic installation, rife with intimate details and hidden surprises. Through canvases, thickly layered with paint built on top of paint like graffiti scrawled across old Italian walls, little dancing figures appear, used paint brushes emerge, text and symbols tell secret stories that are revealed the longer you explore. Expressions will be on view at Fabrik Projects from April 6, 2019 through May 4, 2019. The opening reception will be held on April 6, 2019 from 6pm - 9pm. Fabrik Projects is located at 2636 La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90034.
