The Mirror of the Noonday Sun New Paintings by Eduardo Lapetina July 31 - October 1, 2007 Of his work Eduardo says, "My ambition with my paintings is to use symbolic shapes and colors to express my deepest emotions and passion for life. This leads me to apply paint to the canvas in unusual ways - by pouring, splashing, dripping, and scratching. My paintings also require layers upon layers of paint to create an involved surface texture that is as vital and as complicated as life itself. My abstract expressions are the product of many days of working and reworking." Reception: Monday, August 27, 5:30 - 7:30 pm Please join us for a perfect opportunity to meet the artist and other art lovers, and enjoy the artwork while the restaurant is closed. The reception is free and open to the public.
