Everything is on track for "Crossroad: The Liminal State of Light and Dark", the Solo Show of the Brazilian, New York based artist, Fernando Ferreira de Araujo in Miami. The show will take place at the trendy Artemide Showroom in the heart of Coral Gables. Fabio Villas, the curator of the event, estimates over 200 guests will attend to the opening reception - first Friday of May, 2008. Among them, art collectors, interior designers and fashionistas will pack the venue from 5:30 to 9:30 pm. The exhibition will be open until June 6. Fernando Ferreira de Araujo has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2007.
The liminal state is characterized by ambiguity, openness, and indeterminacy. One's sense of identity dissolves to some extent, bringing about disorientation. Liminality is a period of transition where normal limits to thought, self-understanding, and behavior are relaxed - a situation which can lead to new perspectives. For this exhibition, we will have 15 paintings of Fernando Ferreira de Araujo's latest expressionism figurative and cityscape series. Each and every painting is personal, every stroke opens a concealed wound showing the artist bare soul and his strive for self-discovery. Through contrasts of light and dark and a remarkable bleeding hallmark, he's trodden a path in which we're guided by a strong Chiaroscuro Abstract Expressionism influence. (Fabio Villas, Curator)
"This series -Crossroad The Liminal State of Light and Dark - represents the comfort I now find in contrasts, in being vulnerable to changes, finding new paths through adversities. I've always been attracted by B&W movies, by rainy days, by the silence I relate to darkness. Most and foremost by the contrast of light and dark found on Chiaroscuro. It's fascinating to tread the dark, shaped by rays of light and the new dimension I'm able to discover amid forms that inevitable become my abstract expressionism interpretation of my memories." (Fernando Ferreira de Araujo)
