This mostly recent group of paintings is in response to past years’ unprecedented events and activities, where the inordinate amount of highs and lows demanded respite. With these works my process seemed to be an escape from a unique year and was driven by my process of recounting housed memories. The birds or their reference are players here, because they have remained constant in my daily activities reminding me that it all is okay.

Conversations along with some fleeting images that served as reminders of places, objects, designs, etc. have served as my impetus for these visual explorations. This was a conscious effort of mine to shed the present and actively participate with the inspired memories. The gun and hammer imagery have faded in this group of works, while mostly birds serve the relationship metaphor, whether building, destroying or just providing a path outside the compositions.

“Every corner in a house, every angle in a room, every inch of secluded space in which we like to hide, or withdraw into ourselves, is a symbol of solitude for the imagination; that is to say, it is the germ of a room, or of a house.”  – Gaston Bachelard

Ernesto Leon is currently painting on surfaces of materials that he describes as “urban” and with the destruction of the pictorial application technique, as well as the dystopian vision of rational or geometric arrangements resulting in a compositional organization of quality abstract and a universe of an ordered imbalance.

A peculiar dream, an abstracted vision of the artist’s inner world.

“My paintings are just places I’d like to spend my time. Places that are pleasantly stimulating, enchanting, complex, and consistently inconsistent.” —Erika Alonso

The artist’s ethereal approach in this body of work is established through the use of spontaneous, yet organized mark making, creating dance-like movement, emotional lines, found shapes and evocative color, echoing a balance of impressionism through its shift between abstraction and figuration. The paintings thrive in their ability to transport the viewer into a landscape that allows them to freely explore and get lost in what seems to be an abstracted landscape, but furthers into an unexpected character-filled environment where the viewer will notice recurring gestures as eyes, birds, insects, and animals of all kinds.
