HUMANNESS THEREAFTER

SAN ANTONIO - Sixteen new paintings by local artist Alejandro Padilla will be on view at Gallista Gallery July 11 through August 5.

Following the success of his 2008 Contemporary Art Month show, Sanctified Science/Theoretical Sacrament, Padilla returns this year with Humanness Thereafter. This new series of works builds upon Organic and Geometric Symbolism, an idea that Padilla first developed and explored in his previous show.

Of his new work, Padilla says, “If Sanctified Science/Theoretical Sacrament represented the shortcomings and failures of man, then Humanness Thereafter is the antithesis of that show because the work now emphasizes the persistence and adaptation of man.”

Padilla’s signature use of undulating organic forms combined with the stabilizing presence of geometric shapes depicts an awareness of human existence devout to the inevitable evolution of man.

There will be an opening reception on Second Saturday, July 11 from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Humanness Thereafter

To calculate human, without salvationism or canon
Through organic symbolism
(Aware of evolutionary sequence)

To calculate human adaptation and progression
Through geometric symbolism
(Aware of human existence)

These natural states, humanness thereafter.
