Portals to intimate worlds, static objects and flickering images, 13 artists’ abstracts and a painter’s view of spaces between myth and reality.
While the three shows at McLean Project for the Arts differ stylistically, each functions as a portal to an alternate universe. Abol Bahadori plants architectural interiors with lush vegetation to produce visions of places that are inviting but impossible. Osvaldo Mesa uses classical oil-painting technique to conjure mythic sites and magical talismans.
Also exercises in make-believe naturalism, Mesa’s expertly made paintings often focus on amulets and fetishes that link the Baltimore artist to his Afro-Cuban origins. Some of the pictures in “Toys in the Hands of History” include realistic landscapes, but the painter often places meticulously modeled and shaded objects atop flat decorative patterns. The art movement that seems most central to Mesa’s work is surrealism.
