Join us, Sunday, June 12 at 3 pm, for an Artist talk at the PHES Gallery with visual artist Alvaro Alvarez. "Being a curious boy by nature, I get excited about what the process of creating art can reveal – and how the work becomes alive and has a will of its own. I paint with ink because I relate to its materiality’s innate emotion and flexibility to conform to any formal rigor. Ink being liquid, it has a mind of its own; a quality which I respect in and out of my studio. Loaded with pigment, ink’s free-will grants it a human quality, and portrays the strength and power of its color." Alvaro is one of the featured artists in the PHES Gallery's newest exhibition "Boundaries and Connection," with Kaori Fukuyama and Kline Swonger. Free event.
