Leaders in white 2018

Editor: Here we have Mariojosé Ángeles's "Leaders in White," painted in 2018 using acrylics. It's certainly... striking. The colors are so fluid and melty, almost like a dreamscape. What's your initial reaction to it? How do you interpret this work? Curator: Dreamscape is the perfect word, it's as if these hues swam into consciousness. The painting exudes an unusual power, it’s both bold and tender. For me, abstract expressionism like this is all about unleashing raw emotion – a vibrant dance between chaos and control, what do you think is trying to be portrayed here? Editor: I can see the expression; maybe something about leadership being less about sharp lines and more about this kind of flowing collaboration and movement. It almost feels like faces in conversation. Curator: Ooh, faces in conversation... I love that! Do you think it is about agreement or perhaps conflict? I like the feeling that the "leaders" in white, or rather off-white, are the unheard ideas influencing what is visible on the surface, like the potential contained within a seed. The vulnerability in those soft edges... fascinating, isn't it? Editor: Definitely food for thought, especially how abstract shapes can be so evocative! Curator: Absolutely. It teaches us that leadership can exist beyond clear-cut figures – maybe as potential or background support or shared purpose. We can be those seeds of change ourselves, unseen but influential. Editor: Well, I’ll definitely look at abstract art a bit differently now, considering not just what’s there, but what's simmering beneath! Curator: Precisely. Isn’t that the joy of art, my friend? To perpetually peel back layers.
