Santa Fe, New Mexico.- LewAllen Galleries are proud to present “Michael Roque Collins: Tides of Memory”, that was on view at the Railyard Gallery from November 4th through December 11th. Michael Roque Collins’s art is equally lauded for its visual and allegorical intensities. Dually portentous and promising, his works navigate between literal and symbolic landscapes that propose a dynamic plurality of possible meanings informed by both ancient and modern modes of transcendentalism. Michael Roque Collins produces some of the most deeply affecting figurative expressionism seen today in contemporary art. His lush oil paintings rip deep meaning from thick paint and bold line. Layering and slicing with his brush and palette knife, he mines the metaphorical mysteries of archetypal symbols—especially those of regeneration and renewal.
