Fremin Gallery exhibition: "BIOTANY", Meet the artists Thannyo De Freitas, Thursday, April 6th at 6pm, drinks sponsored by CASA DEL SOL TEQUILA.

Fremin Gallery is thrilled to announce the opening of "BIOTANY", featuring the works of Panamanian born painter THANNYO DE FREITAS and Ohio based artist LISA MEEK. Meet the artists on Thursday, April 6th at 6pm, drinks sponsored by CASA DEL SOL TEQUILA.

Born in the province of Colón, Panamá in 1976, Thannyo De Freitas Navarro experienced an upbringing in which artistic expression and earthly connection were central. In response to his participation in many artistic competitions throughout adolescence, he was awarded a scholarship to progress academically in Panama City. He obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Panama, specializing in visual arts with a particular focus on drawing and painting. His work is currently exhibited in Panama, New York City, El Salvador, Sao Paulo, and the Dominican Republic.

THANNYO DE FREITAS "ISLA 18" - 50" X 40" - Oil on Canvas

The contemporary landscapes of Thannyo De Freitas possess qualities that parallel the work of Tomás Sánchez, a Cuban painter widely acknowledged for his modern pastoral depictions. Like Sánchez, Thannyo’s work beholds photographic qualities achieved through sharp detail, the absence of visible brush stroke, and primarily realistic color usage. The ethereal manner in which he portrays nature suggests surrealist undertones. Considering the impactful presence of deforestation in Panama, Thannyo’s depiction of untouched forests and boundless landscapes can be interpreted as a romanticized version of the environment's dire reality.

Lisa Meek’s sculptures, collectively titled Biblio-Botany, possess a duality that is reflective of the artist herself and her eclectic range of interests. As a practicing medical professional with an inherent artistic drive, Lisa Meek has made impactful contributions to those she interacts with in both office and gallery spaces. The polarity of these worlds conglomerates beautifully, manifesting through her notable success in both fields. Lisa’s pursuit of a dermatological career has always been paralleled with a desire to create, to utilize her artistic prowess in order to share her perspective and initiate important conversations.

LISA MEEK "Happy Earth Day Cake" - 26" X 18" X 18" - Books, Acrylic paint.

This desire has been integral to her experience since early adolescence, when she began acting upon her creative drive by depicting nature scenes. The process in which Lisa assembles her sculptures is quite complex. In order to achieve depth and nuance, Lisa employs considerable intention throughout the planning process. With great admiration and ponder, Lisa cuts pages out of various literary works which highlight topics she wishes to discuss, human rights often being central. Attention to detail is vital; certain books possess qualities unsuitable for paint and shape manipulation. Every aspect of her work is deliberate; the symbolism associated with color and flower species, the pairing of literature, the minute details of shape and object placement. This layered production process exemplifies Lisa’s contemplative nature.
