THIS EXHIBIT
GODDESS:
Evert A. Robles presents us with a series of photo graphics that gives each
viewer an opportunity to explore archetypical images in a surreal
setting.Robles builds his compositions by utilizing multiple images often
creating a mirror-like effect.These counterpoised visuals are windows to the
soul.
The female figure is translucently represented,housed within various
environmental scenarios,paying homage to the contemporary Goddess.
The female figure is a visual classic used in many art forms.Yet the setting
Robles depicts women represents an identity that is neither fixed in time
nor space.This ÒtransnationalÓ identity is a new and powerful theme that is
definitive of a twenty-first century experience
