About Floral Therapy Series
Kelvin López' flowers can be interpreted, like recurrent dreams, either by their colour or by their formal representation although the artist's intent appears to erase time, place and action, or narrative, abstracting his works into the plane of the merely visual and aesthetic. His handling of each work and constant formal experimentation turn each instance into a representational exercise that purifies the gesture away from history and sense. With this series, he reaches a new height in his effort to rid his work of ideologies, to liberate and divest it of all symbologies.
Kelvin's flowers represent an exercise in cleansing and purification, a therapeutic and cathartic liberation from emotions, ideas, recurring problems, disturbing feelings and contextual, conflicting repetitive events that create a vicious circle.
