Alfredo Roldan
A close look at one of Alfredo Roldan’s paintings leads to interesting discoveries. The surface is full of rasps and scrapes, stains, impastos, graffiti and lines. This treatment creates an enormous amount of mini-spots in even small areas of the same color, allowing for endless varieties of contrast, shade and tonality. “I normally start out with a kind of neutral background in an orangey hue and on top of that I draw an initial outline with brownish lines. If the human body is my main theme, I use the face as a key to centre the composition. From the beginning, I have a color scheme in mind but I am always open to change.” The bulk of his work is dedicated to representing the human figure. In doing so, he simplifies reality without diminishing it.

- There is Still so Much we Don't Know About the Rites of SpringLocated in Atlanta, GAI was born in Atlanta, Ga. in i948 and have always lived in the South. The rich tradition of storytelling is in my blood and it is impossible to ignore its influence on my narrative paintings.I am the director of my own tale and must create the characters, the setting, and the poetic tensions implied between the characters and the viewer. My paintings are done on canvas or museum board in a realistic manner with much attention to detail. I have created a technique of layering oil paints and varnish that give the surface a unique technical aspect, one that visually reflects the many levels at which the narrative can be interpreted. The paintings begin with the seed of an idea and a strong fascination and empathy for the central character. One can rely on conscious judgements concerning composition, whether to paint the figure nude or elaborately costumed ,and the use of one's own personal symbols and icons. I believe that only when the artist moves into uncertain territory and listens to her own private language, can she move beyond mere painting. Artist Statement C.Dawn DavisCategory
