From August 3rd to August 22nd 2006, Asian Fusion Gallery is pleased to present the paintings of emerging artist, Juana Page. Born in La Plata, Argentina, she received four years of formal art education in Cordoba, Argentina.

After arriving in New York in 1997, she studied briefly at The School of Figurative Art of New York when she was accepted into the Master’s program in Painting at the City College of New York.

In the recent years Ms Page has been employed in the prestigious Richard Avedon Foundation where she works as an archivist. Ms Page met Mr. Avedon while doing her master and since then she has been related to his organization.

This is the first mayor exhibition of her work in New York City.

Ms Page work's has always involved a long process of search. The ambiguous, the memory and the space are themes that she explores through a wide variety of images. Space especially has become a mayor interest in and out of the limit of her canvases. Ms Page’s symbolic elements have been developed over time and are coming from dreams, experiences and change. Like pure manifestations of deep metabolisms and allegories of the unknown.

In her recent works, Ms Page explored sewing as a process of including new layers of readings introducing the viewer to a more tactile engagement. By integrating the pictorial space with a variety of materials and techniques, a different reality becomes
revealed thus exposing new meanings while one experiences the art work.
