Opening reception Friday May 18th 6-9pm
Combining his love of non-objective painting with linear figurative forms, Queens New York native Domingo Carrasco has partnered with Communitea to present his series of recent works. Figurations celebrates color and form from an abstract modernist standpoint. This body of work attempts to idealize the human spirit whilst emphasizing Domingo’s fascination with color. Through bold line and color, Figurations captures the artists’ struggles as he seeks to tame the physical properties of the paint without compromising the narrative element of the work. Upon closer inspection, one can sense that Domingo is simplifying, exaggerating, and, at times, abstracting his pictures to evoke alternative perspectives from his audience.
