Carmen Hoyos: The Path

Hoyos’ medium is plastic: hard (Plexiglas) or malleable (cellophane) which she carves, folds, paints, layers, wraps, or suspends. Her exhibitions can be gallery-confined or environmental site-specific momentary installations.

Happily, the Fresno Art Museum exhibition combines both of the artist’s approaches. In the Lobby Gallery will be installed wall-based works on Plexiglas she has kept in her personal collection.

The Concourse and Administration Lobbies will house new site-specific cellophane and Plexiglas works created especially for the Fresno Art Museum spaces.

The Sculpture Garden will have an installation of her field of red plastic flowers.

“What matters to me is that my constructions become imprints on memory and nourish our imagination to become the personal breeding ground for future actions. Nature feeds my work.”
