Mise en Scène

New Paintings and Assemblage by Marianela de la Hoz

March 26th - May 1st

Stemming from cinema and the theater, the French term mise en scène

literally means "putting on stage." New work by Marianela de la Hoz does

just that.  By placing her paintings within at times almost theatrical

settings, she further directs the viewer to center stage, the place where

the story is set to unfold. Marianela de la Hoz helps us to understand the

nature of what it is to be human.  Her beautiful and sometimes

controversial paintings cause us to think about ourselves and the drama in

which we play our own part.
