Elsie Sanchez: Behind the Surface

Dublin, Ohio-based artist Elsie Sanchez brings a collection of tapestry-like abstract paintings to the Dublin Arts Council gallery. Intricacies of the Cuban-born artist’s work suggests complexities of the human body; height, arms raised or spread, and intimate gestures. The artist’s connection to the paintings captures calmness and intensity, vulnerability and strength, agitation and peace. (Image: Presence, oil on canvas, 56 x 44”; 2020 by Elsie Sanchez.
