New York New York - Take a look at our Gallery in the Big Apple. Praxis is presenting paintings by Ignacio Iturria, Ana Fabry, Mario Perez, Williams Carmona, Andres Labak and Carlos Araujo. With his solid showing at the Important Latin American Art Sales recently concluded at Sotheby's and Christie's in New York, Perez reaches a new level of recognition that brings together critical acclaim. P rez paints landscapes of open, flat ground and inmense, cloudless skies. Some of these works chairmingly depict small-towns life, with tiny figures fishing, horseback riding, biking, eating.
More festive scenes take place under dark blue skies studded with stars.
P rez mostly works in a mute palette of browns and beiges. He lives most of the time with his wife and children in Buenos Aires, in a neighborhood where syncretic spiritual practices have their origin, more often than not, in the voodoo like practices of the blacks fro Northern Brazil or the promises of cults built on the sands of universal dissatisfaction. More than 1100 artists from Argentina and 16 other countries were enrolled. The Jury formed by Carlos Ca as, Aldo Galli, Elba P rez, Guillermo Roux and Rafael Squirru worked intensely to select the 111 paintings that would later be exhibited.
