The British artist and dancer Amarita Vargas opens her latest show ‘Flow’ in Jerez at the 5 star hotel Casa Palacio Maria Luisa.
Amarita’s works are lyrical and spontaneous. Strongly influenced by her experience as a flamenco dancer, she captures the essence of energy and flow in her abstract works, paring movement down to a minimal statement using a restricted palette of tones. Amarita has exhibited in the Sala El Populo in Cadiz and in the exhibition ‘Flamenco: Entre Lo Figurativo Y Lo Abstracto’ at the Museo del Baile Flamenco in Sevilla.
“It is the placing of the sound in the space that is important – the resonance that
a step has when it is surrounded by exactly the right amount of silence. In
the same way the drawing needs this relationship. The stroke carves out space
that holds the immediacy and vibrancy of the gesture. The real practice is in
understanding this relationship of form to space and sound to silence.”
The show is open every day from 15th to 28th September from 19.00 to 24.00
