Jay Kvapil: Mimesis
MIMESIS: The imitative representation of nature and human behavior in art and literature -Vocabulary.com
Mindy Solomon is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Miami of California artist Jay Kvapil. Inspired by topography, Jay creates surfaces that can only be achieved after years of making. Dedicated to hard work as both an artist and University educator, the fruits of his labor are clearly evident in his oeuvre. Kvapil writes: 鈥淢ost of the recent pieces allude to landscape, intentionally so. After all, I grew up in Arizona, which is a land of vast desert landscapes, but it is also rich in intimate pictorial spaces found in small rocks and stones. Some of the pieces have an obvious horizon line, giving them a distant landscape, while others depict an intimate landscape through which we travel 鈥� whether literally or in our minds 鈥搘ithout a specific reference.
