Foyo's 'Amores': Abstract Love Comes to Mumbai
5 Oct
Summary
- Mexican artist's solo exhibition explores abstract forms of love.
- The exhibition 'Amores' features paintings based on emotions.
- The show opens October 8 and runs through November 18 in Colaba.
Mexican artist José Zendejas Foyo is set to unveil his first solo exhibition in India, titled 'Amores (Loves)'. This collection delves into the multifaceted and often abstract nature of love, showcasing a range of emotions from affection to obsession. The exhibition is a collaboration between Anupa Mehta Contemporary Art and the Consulate General of Mexico in Mumbai.
Opening on October 8, 'Amores' will be accessible to the public until November 18 at the gallery in Colaba. Foyo employs abstraction to articulate love's complexities, stating that specific energies, rather than scenes, arise when he contemplates different forms of love. He uses "chromatic feelings" to translate these emotions into his work.
The gallery's presentation highlights how colour, gesture, and texture are used to give form to feelings that are challenging to express verbally. The Consul General of Mexico in Mumbai noted the exhibition's role in introducing contemporary Mexican art to the city's audiences and celebrating artistic diversity. The exhibition launches as part of Art Night Thursday.
