Adrian Arias: “Dream Escapes” Opening Reception – Exhibition Curated by Renee Baldocchi

In conjunction with the August 4th MAPP, the Red Poppy invites you to join artist Adrian Arias and curator Renee Baldocchi for the opening reception of Dream Escapes from 6:33-7:00pm.

Dedicated to René Yañez, this new series of small format paintings is dedicated to artist Adrian Arias’ dreams. The exhibition reflects a state of life that is very important to his creative process. The dreams, from which the exhibition feeds itself, are transmitted in a visual way. Arias’ work is born in the surreal and is based on the idea of landscapes and natural scenes where the rocks, the sea, the mountains, and the flowers come alive with colors from his dreams.
