Heryk Tomassini Presents his Dreamlike Landscapes in The Substance of Abstraction at Agora Gallery
Heryk Tomassini, Fossil Fields #14, Acrylic on Canvas
Heryk Tomassini’s upbringing surrounded by the natural beauty of Puerto Rico has inspired him in his paintings, which bring a wide variety of visual tones together in an instinctual way. He has said that one of his paintings can be regarded as an aesthetic landscape, or even an archeological find. He uncovers the rich tension and balance in the relationship between color and abstract form.
Heryk regards his paintings as moments in time that invite the observer to enter a world full of emotional associations. The viewer who takes in these multilayered works becomes enmeshed in these dreamlike, open-ended spaces. Heryk has also been influenced by Abstract Expressionism in his use of thick, painterly brushstrokes and a consistent motif of crosshatching to create textures that link up stunning spectrums of colors. In doing so, he creates images of vivid networks which dramatically conjoin and interact, the overall effect being works that are both challenging and rewarding.
