The Figure Takes Center Stage
Laguna Beach’s Saltfineart gallery, 1492 S. Coast Highway, this month features “I Am You, The Figure In Latin American Art,” an exhibition that seeks to illuminate the power of the human figure through the work of Moises Barrios (Guatamala), Lucio Kansuet (Panama), Jose Rogriguez (El Salvador) and Rafael Varela (El Salvador).
These artists, all considered master painters in their own right, use the human figure as a “tap root” of emotion in compositions that vary from the hyper-realistic to the surreal.
