Press Release

Carolina de Panfilis is a Venezuelan artist with a sense for perpetual drama. “Cet amour si violent, si fragile…cet amour si beau” (“this love, so violent, so fragile, so beautiful”) reads the text element on her painting, “Rien ne va Plus.” It is a mini-drama enacted atop the even higher emotional charge of a blood red block of color upon which a brown, boxy spiral sits, invoking passion, confusion, and nascent energy all at once.

The use of text is more a deviation than a rule for de Panfilis, but the use of large color blocks, Cezanne inspired geometry, and a tension filled alignment of competing forms, are all characteristic of her of work. As she toys with the idea of the center, symmetry is displaced. But balance somehow hangs, effortlessly, just above a critical internal meridian line, creating canvasses that are both charged with movement and comfortably complete.Carolina de Panfilis work has been exhibited in Venezuela and the USA.
