Press Release
Beatriz Domingo’s mastery of the language of color and line comes to life in her art. Her intrepid abstract acrylics are a world of fluid forms where mood is set by symbolic and expressive color values. The recurring shape of the circle becomes a portal, guiding the viewer through the spaces of the painting. Beatriz Domingo paints with immediacy and intensity; her color choices are strong and bold and her Abstract Expressionist use of line is pure. By bringing into play color groupings of tranquil blues and sultry fuchsias, or fresh greens and fiery reds in combination with strong blacks, Domingo creates movement through her use of circles and space. The blacks take the dominant role of dimensional creators, while the joyous oranges and lime greens convey the free and painterly spirit of these works. Yet the full richness of Domingo’s creative process is perhaps best reflected by her use of the circle, rendered in confident, painterly brushstrokes that act as a vortex, drawing the viewer into the dimensional depths of the canvas and creating a powerful sense of movement. Figurative subject matter is reduced to a series of basic shapes: Domingo takes the well-known London landmark, Big Ben, and renders it as a composition of circles and rectangles. Beatriz Domingo lives and works in her native Venezuela, where she exhibits regularly.
