NEW YORK, NY.- Luca Bray is a profoundly
introspective artist. His muted color palette, diffusion of the picture
plane,
and juxtaposition of meditative atmospheres with underlying energy imbue
each
work with a sophistication and clarity of expression. Bray’s poignant
canvases
evoke a strong sense of nostalgia— the intangibility of line;
intermittent,
fragmentary sentences; and nebulous forms all hint that the artist is
searching
for a hidden meaning, just beyond our grasp. On view at Gallery Nine 5
through
30 July.
