- April 25, 2016
(Biddeford, ME) Salazar is showing ”Sky, Land & Sea” paintings on paper at Studio265Gallery in Biddeford, Maine through June 2016.
Simultaneously with Salazar’s show, the Portland Museum of Art “Masterworks Paper” exhibition is now on display through June. The PMA exhibit seeks to “highlight the integral relationship between eye, hand and mind that is the basis of all art-making” and features Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, as well as Peggy Bacon, Gustave Le Gray and John Storrs.
Salazar on Stonehenge Paper
At Studio265Gallery Salazar is showing his Sal-Zar Mixed Media Medium™ paintings on Stonehenge paper. Salazar says he prefers Stonehenge because “it’s a good quality print paper; and it can take many heavy applications when done in a wet-on-wet painting style.” He added, “I showed paintings on Stonehenge at Engine in the juried ‘PineTree Statement‘ exhibition that ran from December 2015 through February 2016. The jury show focused on work that represented 'Maine’s iconography with a refreshed vision’.”
Salazar’s Recent Maine Work
In discussing his recent work in Maine, he wrote “My paintings in Maine seek to express its true essence, for I paint ‘Maine’ as unforgiving; the land, sea and sky as uncompromising, demanding your daily awareness, and testing your ability to live with nature as a constant in your life. There is an underlying force—sort of a life force—in many of these pieces. I feel that my treatment of Maine ‘landscapes’ with innovative techniques gives my work a real dynamism. My work since my return from Mexico is on Stonehenge paper and birch hardboard. I have been scraping oil pastels, graphite, charcoal in a wet-in-wet application, using my Mixed Media Medium™.”
