Strata Gallery presents A Collection of Pursuits; the work of Established Member, Texas-based artist Carlos Canul. The exhibition opens on November 5, with a special reception on November 8 from 5-7 pm.

Carlos Canul’s paintings are based on landscapes, Meso-American and world mythologies, spiritual realms, and figurations are all major themes in his paintings and drawings. The use of darkness and light, stark lines, and blurred imagery combine to invite the viewer into a world of questions both personal and communal.

Carlos Canul stated, “It’s great to be involved with Strata Gallery and the Santa Fe Community. Through the engaging dialogue of paint and all its physical properties, my art plumbs physical and spiritual realms, influences of Meso-American mythologies and traditions, the collision of abstraction and representational forces, all the while holding close painting as a tactile poetic adventure.”

Canul’s artwork has been shown in solo, curated, and juried exhibitions in the United States and Europe.
