Dimensions: 13 H x 19 W x 14 D 
Year: 2010
 

Once again, Gallery A returns with a stunning exhibit featuring dynamic expression and furious movement. Nancy Angulo
’s powerful sculptures of horses and dramatic abstractions breathe life into the corners of Gallery A. Her exhibit encompasses a desire for change and tangible accomplishments in everyday life.

Angulo’s incredible sculptures of the horse impose trails of inspiration and essences of the intangible divine upon the beholder.  According to Angulo, “Sculpture demands of the artist a deep understanding of the form, accompanied by a sentiment of dominion, to see in the distance and have the ability to make changes that emerge powerfully, grandiosely, fantastic and unique.  It becomes part of our collective memory and reinforces and immortalizes the bronze piece”.
Angulo, a native of Peru, graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Lima in 1999 with the Nazca award for excellence in oil painting. Her professional studies include sculpture, oil painting, drawing, and lithography. Recognized in both private and public exhibitions, Angulo has been exhibited in the Peruvian-American Cultural Institute in Lima, at the Peruvian-British Cultural Association in Lima and at the Annual Drawing Exhibition at the School of Fine Arts in Lima.

Recently, Angulo held an exclusive exposition at the Peruvian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
In 2010 Nancy was accepted into the Biltmore Who's Who, an exclusive society and network of executives and professionals who have excelled in their respective professions. The majority of Nancy's art works reside in private collections in Peru, Spain, Germany, Australia and the United States.


All are invited to embrace Angulo’s stunning sculptures and abstractions. Gallery A is open Tuesday-Saturday 11am-5pm. For more information, please visit www.alexgalleries.com or like us on Facebook.

Mary Boochever at Alex Gallery


Alex Gallery is currently showing works by artist Mary Boochever. She returns to her hometown of Washington D.C. with her exhibition, Crocus Solis, which opened in May and can still be seen in the gallery through the summer.

The exhibit includes paintings and sculpture that reflect her ideals of meditation, minimalism, and color theory. Boochever draws from a range of cultures and traditions to frame her exploration of color in its role as a transformative agent. Her pieces reflect her interest and studies of color systems attached to socio-religious philosophies, which view color as a dynamic principle through which the life of the individual can be affected or transformed.

Guests are called to stop and engage with the painting whether in a self-reflective manner, a transcendent experience, or for an appreciation of Boochever’s mastery of color.

Mary Boochever studied in Munich, Germany at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste under Mac 
Zimmerman, Günther Frühtrunk, and Paul Meyer-Speer. She has taught at the School of Visual Arts, Suffolk Community College, and at Lacoste School of the Arts in France. Boochever also was a guest lecturer at Yale University. She currently resides in Sag Harbor, New York.

Her book Monograph is available for purchase.

All are invited to come enjoy Boochever’s works. 
Alex Gallery is open Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
