Artist Statement for Erick Sanchez
|
|
|
The landscape Atmosphere as a Scene
At this time in his life, Erick presents to us a series of paintings founded in the great outdoors. His work transports
us to an ideal place that is full of peace and harmony. These new works are composites in forms intended to
communicate to us something much deeper than originally believed. Sánchez allows us to travel to and connect us
with his most recent work by exploring the limitless bounds of nature through his experimentation and expression.
The atmosphere found on the natural surroundings of the island on which he lives are most important to the artist,
and have now become the basis for his new work. The various elements of the tropical environment, the innumerable
tangible and intangible, as they are seen through the infinite variations in sunlight, are reflected in his latest works.
The viewer is transported to the outside world of Puerto Rico to see what the artist sees, and experience the same
sensations as the artist as he experiments and works in the countryside. His work is an expression of his innermost
self...his feelings, the manner in which he thinks, his deep spirituality, and his love of God the Creator.
With his skills, Sanchez compels us to reflect what is truly natural and beautiful, by awakening in us what may have
been forgotten or overlooked, or by instilling in us something new and surprising as we confront nature as seen by
the artist.
Some of the recognition and awards the artist has received in the recent, among others, are Group Show Winner of
the Viridian Artists 16th National Juried Exhibition, Encounters Juried Exhibition Honorable Mention in the Museum
of the Americas, Miami, Florida, Artist of the Commemorative Poster of the Ponce Carnival, 2005, San Juan Man
of Distinction for his dedication and work in the field of National Arts, Honorable Mention in the Photography
Biennial Show of the ICP and third place in the UNESCO 2005 Photography Competition.
