Amalgama is a solo exhibition by Joaquín Boz featuring new paintings which incorporate dynamic juxtapositions of scale, color, material and processes to create eye-dazzling compositions. The paintings range in size, from just 12 x 16 inches all the way to 10 x 15 feet. The juxtaposition of a small painting next to a large one, of one that is densely painted near to one that is sparsely painted, is part of Boz’s vision of creating harmony out of chaos. He carefully combined improvisation and thoughtful editing as he simultaneously worked on all of the paintings over several months. Larger patches of color were reduced in size as new colors were added while some areas were entirely overpainted. One passage might be glossy while another is flat. Some have lines of texture formed by the edge of a knife while others have irregular scratch marks. The overall amalgam is akin to confetti entirely filling the sky.
