Ha desarrollado el artista valenciano Alejandro cabeza Una carrera pict�rica apoyada principalmente en el Empleo de una t�cnica art�stica impresionista, y quiz�s por ello hecho que los cuadros giren en torno al paisaje, la composici�n de figuras y el retrato, donde ha alcanzado el aprecio de la critica y del publico.
Cabeza cultiva sorpresivamente una pintura impresionista que difiere totalmente de los estilos, las modas y lo que se lleva en este comienzo de siglo XXI. Se trata de un creador de fuerte car�cter que con su forma de ser y entender el hecho art�stico esta en las ant�poda del gusto general.
Las pinturas de Alejandro cabeza son muy apreciadas por su factura impresionista, su t�cnica precisa, su cromatismo vivo, que recrean muy bien los paisajes, las marinas y las composiciones con figuras humana. Ha convertido su impresionismo finisecular en una singularidad, casi en una disidencia, acepada por unos y rechazadas por otros. Se trata pues, de un franco tirador, un �rara avis� en un contexto art�stico marcado por la postmodernidad.

Every Now And Then

Featuring New Works by Tha?s Beltrame, Jonathan Edelhuber, Josh Heilaman, Chad Mount aka tribalbot, and Mehgan Trice

Group Exhibition
May 24 - June 15, 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 24, 8 PM - Midnight

Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art is pleased to announce Every Now And Then, a group exhibition featuring national and international artists, including Tha?s Beltrame, Jonathan Edelhuber, Josh Heilaman, Chad Mount aka tribalbot, and Mehgan Trice. In new works by these five artists, color and medium function as clues to the vast spectrum of human emotion. Exhibited works include acrylics and oils on canvas and wood, pen and ink on paper, and mixed media pieces. Tha?s Beltrame and Josh Heilaman will be in attendance at the opening reception on Saturday, May 24, from 8 PM - Midnight.

Stimulated by her past and what she observes daily around her, the focus of Tha?s Beltrame’swork for this exhibition is solitude. Using only black and blue ink on white paper, with the occasional employment of the �wild� nib, Beltrame�s calm, efficient brushstrokes make her subtle images come alive with an extraordinary power. In contrast, Jonathan Edelhuber blasts pungent shades of red against more earthy pigments. A delectably potent collision of the natural world and manmade intrusion, the artist�s acrylics on wood and canvas expose his stance on the delusional, self-destructive behavior of human beings, and the moral destitution of the nation. Symbolism is a key stylistic feature in achieving what Edelhuber describes as �controlled chaos�.

Josh Heilaman insists that what appears on the paper, wood, canvas, or other medium he is working with is most often dictated by the piece itself, which in turn intensifies the momentum of his process. With a color spectrum inspired by the concept of the simultaneous existence and subsequent interactions of every shade of the rainbow, this latest body of work explores the iridescent nature of the universe. Against complementary brilliant, psychedelic wonderlands roam the hairy, black creatures of Chad Mount aka tribalbot�s imagination, spindly-limbed and wide-eyed with curiosity. In a fusion of the figurative and the abstract, Mount travels into an alternate reality dominated by anxiety and passion, paying acute attention to shapes, color, and microscopic details.

Inspired by music, dreams, and her fascination with the folklore of different cultures, Mehgan Trice explores a variety of themes and images in her series of oil on masonite panels. With a rich palette that oscillates between tranquil and dramatic, Trice divines the versatility of color in her representations of innocence, seduction, and power. Each painting delves into the story of her characters and the magical, mysterious land they live in.
