Miguel Cond茅: Dialogues
Serge Sorokko Gallery is pleased to present Miguel Cond茅: Dialogues, featuring new works on canvas and paper. This is the artist鈥檚 second solo show at the Sorokko gallery in San Francisco. The exhibition will open to the public on March 27 and run through April 26, 2015.
A master painter and draftsman, Miguel Cond茅 engages with the past and present creating enigmatic narratives that are as accessible and familiar as they are avant-garde. His work celebrates the com茅die humaine, the intellectual and emotional interrelations of men and women, capturing their secretive intimate dialogues, timeless old world rituals, and the fantastic theatrical events of life.
Cond茅 sets his scenes in earthy Italian Trecento colors鈥攖erracotta browns, pistachio greens, deep blues, and vibrant vermillion. Cond茅 references the high Renaissance and the dramatic Baroque periods of art history in his work. He brings together and animates characters from ancient mythologies, classical literature, and modern times to perform in lively conversations and act out poetic stories. Employing old master painting techniques, his canvases are built up in careful layers forming a rich patina. Cond茅鈥檚 virtuoso drawings possess a surety of line and sculpted volume. He is acclaimed by Radio France as "one of the most important contemporary masters of engraving.鈥�
Miguel Cond茅 presents us with nostalgic visions, portrayals of wanderers and travelers, the intellect of storytellers, and the seductive illusions and fantasies of our social species. His work is an open and continuing conversation between the artist鈥攖he processional performance carried out by his subjects鈥攁nd the viewer.
