Fernando Ferreira de Araujo - Crossroad

Crossroad -- The Liminal State of Light and Dark
A Solo Show by Brazilian New York-based artist
Fernando Ferreira de Araújo

"The liminal state is characterized by ambiguity, openness, and indeterminacy. One's sense of identity dissolves to some extent, bringing about disorientation. Liminality is a period of transition where normal limits to thought, self-understanding, and behavior are relaxed - a situation which can lead to new perspectives. For this exhibition, we will have 15 paintings of Fernando Ferreira de Araujo's latest expressionism cityscape series. Each and every painting is personal, every stroke opens a concealed wound showing the artist bare soul and his strive for self-discovery. Through contrasts of light and dark and a remarkable bleeding hallmark, he's trodden a path in which we're guided by a strong Chiaroscuro Abstract Expressionism influence."
