Aisle 1 Gallery: Friday 27 January 2012

Cayetano Valenzuela
Night Breathing - A Solo Exhibition
Opening Reception at Aisle 1 Gallery
January 27, 2011, 7-11pm

Join Aisle 1 Gallery on Cherokee Street Friday Jan 27th for the opening reception of Night Breathing. Cayetano's illustrations focus somewhere in between real life and the underside of the subconscious. Join us to celebrate his new body of work from 7 – 11 pm.

“My paintings are a sort of documentation and exploration of memory, personal relationships and the underbelly of the American cultural landscape. By using a range of mark making and line work I build the image within a few layers. In the paintings I allow imagery from one instance to blend into another like a seamless collage.

"The logic of memory works very much like the logic of dreaming and that idea has been one of the underpinnings of my work and something that I am just really fascinated by. I try to combine the fluidity of memory with a delicate line and modulated color washes that cast a poetic resonance to capture the character of a memory caught midstream.”
