"Braving the New World" - Mary Martin Gallery
“BRAVING THE NEW WORLD”
AT MARY MARTIN GALLERY
According to Randall LaGro, intuitive painter and printmaker, our world is definitely in a time of change and transition. LaGro speaks pertinently to the situation in his show, “Braving the New World”, which will be the featured show in April at the Mary Martin Gallery.
Opening reception will be held on the evening of April the 6st from 5 pm to 8 pm.
Honoring
the latent strengths and beauties of our human nature and the mystery
which surrounds our lives is the theme. “This show is about the quiet
glories of the human potential, our fellowship with creation and the
conviction that we are bound to all of history and humanity”, states LaGro.
Using his signature artistic style, “Intuitive Poetic Realism and Abstraction”, LaGro combines
elements of the conscious and the subconscious with the goal to
encourage the viewer take on the subject and images as their own,
finding their own story and wonderment.
Paintings,
"Mystic Journey", "The child shall lead" and " Last of a species" are
“poetic invitations to our primordial nature”; according to LaGro: “we are beings on a journey and what shall be the result is the ultimate question”.
As well as being nationally acclaimed for his paintings, LaGro
is recognized for his special technique that has raised the standard of
monotype processing, a widely misunderstood medium. Technically a print
in that it involves the transfer of image, monotypes however are one of
a kind, singular pieces of artwork, not multiples prints. Several of LaGro’s monochromatic monotypes are part of the show.
LaGro’s
symbolic and narrative paintings and monotypes are meant to be
reflective and reminders of our human journey and our potential to be
fully realized. “I feel a sense of urgency. However, rather than a
shout, a rant or some kind of clever art speak, I'm relying on the
recognition of the human voice. I paint the paintings intuitively; and I
don't like to expound too much on my thoughts, but as an example of my
fascination with the power of art” states LaGro.
