ABOUT THE WORK

Arturo Luz has created a colloquial style of color, form, and line to translate his impressions into compositions that reflect his interest in Asian architecture and performers. He utilized his abstract language to rummage into memories of travels to India, Cambodia, and Thailand. The intricacy and linearity of the Asian cityscapes have captivated Luz, and he has gone - all out for these qualities in his abstractions. Luz explained that for 60 years, he had done cityscapes and circus performers, using the same colors of black, white, red, and yellow. The difference was that every year throughout his life, they kept reinventing themselves. The artist notes, “They are imaginary landscapes, recollections of my Asian pilgrimage. They have one common element: They are not literal, but rather composite images from memory. They are imagined, transformed, invented. Luz's work reminds us that his consistency as an artist originated from his discipline and the fullness of an artist’s life well lived.
