BENITO RANGEL DE MARIA : MICRO MOTION
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 - DECEMBER 30, 2011
OPENING RECEPTION : SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, 6-9PM
Monarch Contemporary is pleased to announce the opening of its fine art gallery in Palm Springs, California, on Friday, September 30, 2011. The inaugural exhibition, MICRO MOTION, features works by artist Benito Rangel de Maria. These works comprise the artist's Microcosm and Locomotion Series, which incorporates diminutive systems analogous to a larger system, and profiles the many layers that make up our society.
“My work investigates the multifaceted composition of contemporary life. These visual essays are an integration of layered images connected by wax, a substance that replicates our own transparent and transitory qualities. By juxtaposing archetypal images, I encourage the viewer to see beyond the limitations of the physical.” - Rangel de Maria
