Archway Gallery presents "There Is An Instant," featuring new paintings by Silvia PintoSouza.
When PintoSouza was very young, she read a poem titled, “There Is An Instant,” by Guillermo Valencia, a 19th century Colombian poet and statesman. The poem moved her deeply and has stayed with her ever since. Looking through the doors of an old and dilapidated barn, PintoSouza senses the presence of those who were there before.
"There is an Instant" captures the moment when the sun sets - the end of a day, as well as a metaphor for the end of a life - a mission accomplished in a beautiful and generous way, full of nostalgia and feeling for what is about to end. A beautiful sunset can be enjoyed for just a few minutes before it ends, but the spiritual effect of having viewed it persists long afterwards. PintoSouza’s paintings are intimate, romantic, and direct. Her message is the image itself, simply what you see.
The exhibition will remain on display through April 1.
