Vibrant, mysterious, and confrontational, @gtaleb portraits are a mishmash of cultural imagery, popular references, and traditional allusions. Born Gabriela Taleb, GTaleb creates oil paintings sometimes several feet across in vividly feathered colors. Her work, which is loaded with dramatic techniques, is immediately striking because of her curated color schemes. Some pieces languish in endless tones of blue, others pop in red, and still others contain the full rainbow in bright, electric hues. The second important aspect of the work is the application of paint: strokes both sweeping and careful that streak colors into one another and create a dream-like atmosphere. "Gold Skin II (Diptych)," oil on canvas, 27.5" x 39.5" will be on view at #AgoraGallery until March 29. #AgoraArtists #March10Reception #portrait #art #artoftheday #equador (at Agora Gallery)
