AT ALPACA
Loose Tooth Nicholas Valdés Opening reception: Friday October 11, 5-8pm Closing reception: Friday November 1, 5-8pm LOOSE TOOTH is a solo exhibition of new works on canvas by Nicholas Valdés. His process reflects an excitement for using multiple modes of making at once. Works often start with a small photograph whose formal arrangement/geometry is used as a reference image for creating an underpainting - a skeleton that the meat of a work will hang on. Valdés' process capitalizes on his interest in the chance happenings that occur through cutting and rearranging collage elements with a painted surface. The collection of works in this exhibition reflect his celebration in shedding old ways of making to make room for the new. Nicholas Valdés (b. 1986) is a multimedia artist who lives and works in Albuquerque, NM where he is an MFA candidate in Studio Art at the University of New Mexico. |
