ABOUT THE WORK

The jet set artist Zalameda creates dynamic interpretations of the revolutionary European aesthetic popularly known as cubism. In the assessment of Zalameda’s art, image should not be confused with artistic individuality. The kind of pictorial structure used here, with it’s a suggestion of the random and the seemingly spontaneous, is one that Zalameda carried with him throughout his career. Yet his abstractions reveal a style that has not completely given up imagery. The numerous adjacent curving planes representing boats create a lively sense of spatial relationships, shallower and deeper spaces, outer and inner shapes.
