Dos
Remedios relaxes in the landscape of flowers and plants. Close ups, cropped
images and simplified patterns make up this artist's body of work. All artworks
are created from found imagery. The challenge is to capture the essence of
these flowers in a new and revelatory way, and in doing so heighten the meaning
and attraction of each flower in a unique representation.

His
process joins together painting and drawing, abstraction and representation in
non-traditional ways. Highly contrasted forms illuminated by the use of bright
fading colors applied by airbrush contrasted with acrylic and gauche brush
strokes. The combination of these elements creates a sense of tension in the
work.  The work is multilayer with
multiple under paintings that peak through in various points in the picture to
reward the view at closer inspection.
