Reception:
Thursday December 7, 2006 6-8 PM
Press Release
Both wonderfully fluid and hard-edged as stone, the artist Bezio is on a quest to discover the fundamental mechanics of abstract art and color theory. His characteristic emotive element is a face, simplified into a linear schematic, yet possessing an emotional, human quality in a format that would otherwise be fully abstract. He is nearly scientific in his approach. “As an engineer, and zealous follower of the Bauhaus School, I have embedded concepts of open, closed, and fractal geometry in my art.” Beyond the structural analysis of art is Bezio's determination to express the ineffable, to communicate an emotion in a nameless realm. He works with a limited palette, in colors that are natural and timeworn; his abstract compositions are physically powerful and totemic. Often creating works in pairs or triplets, the pieces seem to converse with one another, in a dialogue that is at once intimate and outspoken. Hailing from Greece, Bezio now lives and works in New York.
