Art review:

 

"André Martínez Reed's collection of work is energetic, authentic, and emotional—oscillating between abstraction and representation. At first glance you absorb his bold use of color and harmonic textures, but then you’re immediately pulled into a story, where each painting allows you to peer into a piece of André's soul. In one of André's paintings, a city skyline emerges amongst a layering of cool blues—and suddenly you feel part of a moment in Andre's life as a NYC artist. In another work, a chorus of brush strokes are interrupted by a bold swell of warm tones and you practically experience synesthesia, as you are transported to a jazz performance and reminded of André's background as a musician. André's work is vibrant and personal, his brush strokes melodic and intentional, and through his craftsmanship and abstraction one is able to connect on a higher, almost spiritual level. The Vigorous Spirit is transcendent."
