Michelle Concepción. From Jun 6th through Sep 26th, 2008.ArtSpace / Virginia Miller Galleries, located at 169 Madeira Avenue in Coral Gables, is presenting the exhibition Volver: Recent Paintings by Michelle Concepcion through September 26th, 2008. Concepcion’s abstract paintings are an enigma: abstract compositions that evoke diametrically different interpretations. Some viewers see microscopic organisms; others, asteroids; still others, aquatic plant forms.
According to art critic Peter Frank, "Each of us sees the myriad interplays of form, color, and shade that dominate Concepción’s paintings slightly differently, perhaps, but we all recognize that her forms float, often one across another.”
For several years, Concepcion’s paintings have either been in black, gray and white or shades of blue on an all-black or white background. Some of her recent works burst into a palette of lush colors: pumpkin, lime, deep scarlet, cobalt blue.
Although the Coral Gables exhibition is Concepcion’s first one-person show in the US, she has held solo shows in Germany and Spain and since 1988 has participated in 54 group exhibitions in leading museums, galleries and art fairs in the United States and Europe.
