Lagerquist
Gallery,
Atlanta’s
oldest gallery dealing in original fine art proudly presents new work by
abstract artist, Briant Matheson, April 12-28, 2012.
Mr. Matheson
is
a self taught artist who has been working in unused mediums for much of his
career. Mr. Matheson believes, “If I were to
generalize my painting style I would suggest that it is “collage” in nature.
First I size up the space, insert the shapes or objects and balance the tones.
Painting provides me with a new freedom of expression. |

Almost immediately upon his arrival in Havana, American photographerMichael Dweckbecame a witness to a side of Cuban society that hasn’t welcomed
witnesses – much less Americans or photographers – since the revolution.
With the aid of luck, charm and a translator, he landed in the midst of
afarandula– a close-knit group of well-connected artists –
that seemingly merged the artistic integrity of the 30’s-era Parisian
salons with the glamour and star-power of the 70’s-era Studio 54.
Through his unprecedented (and unrestricted) access to this hidden
society of artists, writers, film makers, musicians and models, he was
able to assemble a photographic narrative of a seductive and privileged
world unseen by the West. |
