Renowned International Neo-Geometric Abstract Classicist, Serge Armando, breaks new artistic ground this March with his trail-blazing Solo Exhibit, “Pure Color, Perfect Line” at Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts! “Pure Color, Perfect Line” at GDCA provides the cornerstone to a Tri-Venue Exploration of master-craftsman and visionary artist, Serge Armando, connecting the dots of his artistic continuum. For this in-depth examination of a vital and profound artistic legacy, Art meets Architecture is offering parallel exhibitions of Armando’s work in their private venue The Salon at The Eastern Columbia and The Fine Arts Building, a Historic Cultural Monument (811 W. 7th Street Downtown Los Angeles). The multi-media exhibit at GDCA features with Armando’s ‘Hot-Off-The-Press’ 2016 paintings, then takes you through time to his earlier works and beginnings. Regardless of the period, all of Armando’s works reflect nuanced artistic and emotional concepts of “purity” and “perfection”. Notable binary influences are Native-American tribal motifs, mixed with high modernism. They are interpreted through Serge’s experience and love of architecture and finally fused into his signature style of contemporary abstraction. The purity of the primitive co-joined with the precision and cultural sophistication of architecture, are framed by a heightened perspective on spatial dimension, to form a singular artistic expression. Tying the series together, are elements of installation and sculpture that exemplify the forming of a real and authentic creative voice, which Serge Armando commands with expertise, clarity, elegance, and grace.
