While visiting the galleries on the ArtWalk in Puerto Vallarta a feast of colour and ideas presents. The visual harmonies and tonal concatenations were played with a palette knife in the hot club images of Jazzamoart. Resting my eyes became a wrestling, a struggling without boundaries and yet the feast was only the hors d’oeuvre for an entree of delights. At every turn of phrase a visual feast. On seeing the Fractal City by Iskar, the emerging stalagmites of shredded news underscored the futility of story with the fake shadows of the news. The image a score with promise!
In the corner on the shelf a weighted art-book on Jazzamoart. In the Spanish text I couldn’t find a publisher or date. All 300 pages reproduced the visual stories created by the painted music.
The “Hummel” like figure of the young boy reprimanded to face the wall created by Pamela captures a discipline we assumed obsolete. The grey sweatshirt with head-in-shame hoodie was a moment of awakening. Margaret took a moment to imitate the pose that the photographer failed to capture. A parental parody.
Down the street fabric artist Sofia Crimean posited the image of the wanton woman, the abandoned woman, on a band of orange and green reaching for the flowers of memory. There is a statement about the human condition in the collage of these images. Hope is in the notes of awareness!
