KALEID Gallery is proud to present:Radiant Ambiance Mario Dimas solo exhibition Artist’s reception: Friday August 2nd 5pm–9pmPart of the First Fridays ArtWalk SJ in SoFA District. Working primarily with acrylic paint and brushes Mario Dimas uses patterns and design to create a sense of light, motion, and vibration in his artwork. This series of works is Mario’s progressions experimenting with painting a variety of subjects and designs using bold outlines and vibrant color palettes.

Albert Einstein disagreed that the universe could be so random. He famously replied, “God does not play dice.” As evidenced by the work on display here, I’m more with Bohr. Each time I start a new work, I bring to it an open mind and no preconceived notion of where the finished piece will end up. I make stray marks and then react to them, striving to find balance while allowing my subconscious mind to dredge up imagery from my past or incorporating that which I see before…
