In Search of Parameters by Jana Benitez
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.
