ARTIST STATEMENT
In recent years I have striven to connect through a graphic synthesis such as the straight line with experiences accumulated during the history of humanity, to give meaning to our existence as part of a tradition that is repeated like a mantra and vibration of those who we are, the line as fractal, mirror and starting point from which, we project our experience as a unifying language.
About Southern Idiom
SECCA's Southern Idiom exhibition series launched in 2017 as a platform for elevating and celebrating the work of Winston-Salem artists. In contrast to many exhibitions at SECCA, works on view in Southern Idiom are available for purchase. Carlos Montes De Oca's exhibition marks the 28th installment of the series, whose alumni artists include Sharon Hardin, Terri Dowell-Dennis, Ashley Johnson, Frank Campion, Mona Wu, Owens Daniels, Jessica Singerman, Leo Rucker, Kevin Calhoun, Paul Travis Phillips, Laura Lashley, Sam "The Dot Man" McMillan, and others.
