A Collection of Pursuits by Carlos Canul

A Collection of PursuitsCarlos Canul
November 5 – November 22, 2024
Reception: November 8, 5-7pm

Strata Gallery presents A Collection of Pursuits; the work of Established Member, Texas-based artist Carlos Canul. The exhibition opens November 5th, with a special reception on November 8 from 5-7pm.

Carlos Canul’s paintings are based in landscapes, Meso-American and world mythologies, spiritual realms, and figuration are all major themes in his paintings and drawings. The use of darkness and light, stark lines and blurred imagery combine to invite the viewer into a world of questions both personal and communal. 

Carlos Canul stated, “It’s great to be involved with Strata Gallery and the Santa Fe Community. Through the engaging dialogue of paint and all its physical properties, my art plumbs physical and spiritual realms, influences of Meso-American mythologies and traditions, the collision of abstraction and representational forces, all the while holding close painting as a tactile poetic adventure.”

Canul’s artwork has been shown in solo, curated and juried exhibitions in the United States and Europe.

Strata Gallery is open from 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday – Saturday. For more information about Strata Gallery, the current exhibit, and the future schedule of events, please visit the Strata Gallery website and Instagram.
