Last night I went to Arcadia Gallery for the opening of Julio's Reyes solo show. I've been interested in this artist since he won Best in Show award in the 2010 Art Renewal Center International Salon Competition. He seemed friendly, down to earth, and genuinely passionate about his art. The show includes both drawings and oil paintings, mostly figurative work. Some of the paintings are on copper, and executed loosely, whereas other, larger ones on canvas, are more carefully rendered. His work is both calm and dreamy. Whether in lush fields or overlooking a distant cityscape, his figures are lost in thought and introspection. The work carries a clear message that resonates with the artist community and with the public at large. Overall a great show to see, I recommend it!
