In Search of Parameters
by Jana Benitez
February 12 - March 7, 2009
Opening on Feb. 12 at the Tall Gallery of Finale Art File is "In Search for Parameters" by Jana Benitez. In her
works, the artist captures an implied narrative of the human spirit--in existential angst, in unity
of group work, in fleeting graceful dance choreographed, in the diaspora of Filipino overseas workers
who eke out their existence in foreign lands.
Her murals are large, strong and bold. Compositionally, they reflect a complexity that tests the limits of the human figure--often distorted, contorted and mangled, but intensely emotional and poignant with meaning.
Her colors are fauvist in her earlier murals. The strong bold colors are highlighted by touches of white and tonal values main gradient colors. Handling strong contrasting colors, she is nonetheless able to blend them into a coherent and powerful artistic rendition.
