| Painter and printmaker Juarez
created the suite They Entered the Road to honor the memories of
five of his intimates: his sister, her daughter, and three close friends
who died of AIDS. The five immense paintings are spectacles of the wonder,
enchantment, and peace we may derive from the natural world. Juarez creates
sites of ethereal grace where nature's abundance–flowers, fruits and
natural materials–may encourage us to reflect on our passage through
the physical world into another. |
