Last Friday the 14th of October, the Altos de Chavón artistic community, as well as the Casa de Campo and La Romana communities celebrated the opening of a new art exhibit “Tierra y Tiempo” in the Altos de Chavón art gallery.
The new exhibit being presented by Dominican artist Natalia Conde Bidó was, in the artists own words said to represent “the looming effects of the imbalance of ecosystems, global climate change and human predation.” The paintings themselves were vibrant, bold and beautiful, but sadly I, lacking any kind of artistic education was unable to interpret the meaning or recognize any symbolism that related to “global climate change” etc, that is not to say that I did not enjoy the exhibit – I personally liked the paintings very much. To be honest my appreciation of art is much more “ah that’s nice” rather than any in depth appreciation. Regardless, if you didn’t join us for the exhibit opening – it’s definitely worth a look.
Below are my photos of the artwork. I wonder, what would you interpret the meaning of these paintings to be? Do you see the “imbalance of ecosystems”?
