OCTOBER 2010 – SOLO EXHIBITION AT desChamps GALLERY, LAMBERTVILLE, NJ
"Sunset" (detail) Oil 24x48 inches
Through dreamy riverscapes, local landscapes, portraits, or empty rooms full of emotion, Luiz Vilela is creating some of the most compelling images of the Delaware Valley area seen today. In his recent works on view this fall at desChamps Gallery in Lambertville, Vilela’s work offers a powerful range of mood and color, in both bold and delicate combinations. Working to achieve accurate representation without too much idealization the artist is conscious of his mind insights and the power of observation.
Luiz’s paintings, watercolors and drawings have been exhibited in galleries in Bucks and Hunterdon Counties, and New York City. His paintings have won awards in several art shows including “The Lambertville And The Surrounding Area Exhibition,” at Coryell Gallery, in Lambertville, NJ; “The Phillips’ Mill Show,” in New Hope, PA; and “79th Annual Exhibition of the Hudson Valley Art Association” at The National Arts Club, New York City.
Luiz Vilela is a member of Portrait Society of America, and the Artsbridge’s group in the Delaware Valley.
