Dan Rocha: Reflections / Deflections 

Sept. 8 - Oct. 2, 2011   Reception Oct. 1st, 3-6pm

 

It is with great pleasure that we feature Rocha's new work in his first solo exhibit at 119 Gallery entitled, Reflections / Deflections. Dan is the winner of our 2010 Juried Exhibit. Visitors to the gallery will be thrilled to find nearly two dozen works on view. What might surprise viewers, is that the bulk of his new works are not the paintings but sculptures.

 

As in his paintings, Rocha's sculptures attempts to reconcile opposites, both visually, and symbolically. In his paintings, the romanticism of soft-focused color fields is contrasted with hard-edged purity. In this way, he creates a compelling visual tension.

 

"The sculptures I create make use of parameters that are similar to those found in my paintings; they combine opposing elements. In my sculptures these disparities are found in their use of materials and surfaces, which contrast the natural and organic with the machine and industrial made. The use of mirrors adds a further visual ambiguity, as clean spatial properties are contrasted with the organic shapes." -Dan Rocha.

On view during Lowell Open Studios Oct. 1st & 2nd.
