Rene Cuvos' Estranghero Exhibit @ Blanc
2008-09-12 10:00:00
Estrangheroa show by Rene CuvosThe sheer number of human beings in this planet assures us that a day can?t go by without setting our eyes on a face we?ve never seen before. There are hundreds of people that we see but never meet, as we walk the streets, ride a jeep, drink in a coffee shop or watch TV. Their faces are a blur, a blank, as we go about the business of living. We practically never see them---but there are a few that stick.There are a few faces that we never seem to forget. For some inexplicable reason, there is an intangible connection to the stranger whom we?ve never even spoken to, much less get near to. He or she must have reminded us of someone we used to know in kindergarten, for all that?s worth. There is an urge to stop, turn around and look closely to find...what? Who knows?Rene Cuvos explores this phenomenon in his new collection, ?Estranghero?. Each painting is a close study of a stranger?s character and personality. In ?Mangangaral? (oil on canvas, 24x18 inche...
