SAMARA Gallery presents "Maps of an Inner Cosmos," the first US solo presentation of works by international artist Patricia Sicardi. Sicardi's most recent paintings are about creating new spaces. Color was the dominant element in her previous works, but here she contrasts black and white with vigorous, gestural brushwork. Lines and forms interplay in spaces of silence. Brief mentions of color intimate force, rhythm and interiority: a dance for the spectator.
Eudald Camps wrote in the Spanish Daily newspaper Diario de Girona that "Patricia Sicardi's Mediterranean vision is evident in her artworks. The city of Cadaqués, Spain, provided an ideal setting where Sicardi's paintings could resolve themselves with an intensity that strikes close to home. Vast fields of color and forceful brushstrokes allow light to vibrate with an unsuspected brilliance, and the retina to recreate itself through an interplay of light. Freedom at its maximum."
Patricia Sicardi was born in Buenos Aires,...Argentina, and lives and works in Barcelona, Spain, Patricia earned her national teaching certificate in painting and engraving at the Santa Ana Institute in 1982.
