Stand Still: Works by Lola del Fresno

Presented by Mt. San Jacinto Community College at Mt. San Jacinto College's Fine Art Gallery

October 31-November 17, 2011

The MSJC Art Gallery will be bringing globally diverse artwork to the area with “Stand Still,” an exhibit of mixed media paintings and sculpture made by Spanish artist Lola del Fresno. Del Fresno creates meticulously rendered illustrations of people, animals, and nature in order to conduct an in-depth examination of the human condition. Informed by her international background, del Fresno’s approach is on a more universal level, which is achieved by removing recognizable cultural or social cues from her representations.Del Fresno uses art to encourage the viewer to actively explore the intricacies of life, the passage of time, and our place in the world. The majority of paintings on exhibit are life sized or larger, establishing a commanding physical presence while simultaneously inviting viewers to get up close and form a more personal relationship with the work. While contemporary, the work also pays homage to its historical predecessors. Del Fresno works in a manner that involves the breaking up of space into faceted shapes, similar to the techniques of famed Cubist artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Her work also shares the same analytical component found in Cubist works, but expands beyond the style by working with more recognizable subjects to insure a more human connection and emotional resonance.
