Nine Years in the Making Flattened Truck, by Pablo Calderon, © 2011 Creativity Explored
Opening reception: Thursday, January 12, 7 – 9 p.m. According to Pablo Calderon, bigger is better. The El Salvador-born artist not only paints on the largest sheets of paper and canvases he can find, his signature bicycles, trucks and faces take over these surfaces — nudging right up to the edges as if they are about to roll right off. Large brush strokes and bold color swatches add to the intensity of these pieces, making the act of viewing them a powerfully visceral experience. Calderon works quickly and deliberately, and thus has created a vast number of works in his nine years at Creativity Explored — establishing him as one of the studio/gallery’s most prolific artists.
