AI Summary
About This Event
Featured Artists
Charmagne Vasquez
artist
Charmagne Vasquez is an artist of contemporary paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Her current works often focus on interconnectedness and humankind’s role within earth’s dynamic biology. The artworks are made spontaneously with traditional and non-traditional media, as Vasquez builds up complex, colorful layers. Viewers experience organic landscapes and menageries. She expresses the tension of daily human occurrences, in parallel to the vast, interconnected web of life. Urban and feral. Civilization and hinterlands. She moves away from paradigms of personifying nature and magical thinking, and toward a curiosity-led perspective of better understanding flora and fauna. A work may contain references to the scientific world, as well as a rock and roll anthem. Having reverence of nature, of which we human animals are a part, is a very major theme. With the building up of each layer, she watchfully responds to emerging forms. Vasquez’s process simultaneously radiates in all directions, with many creative projects cross-pollinating in her Phoenix, AZ studio.
