Enchanté

For “Enchanté”, Lopez brings together a collection of works intended to convey an abstract narrative of a past life. Being surrounded by nature’s elemental forms like leaves, clouds, and waves of the ocean inspired the artist to craft a visual story of nature-like patterns with a new and riveting mixture of colors and textures. The result is an imagery of a sublime and moving body of work, engaging the viewer to feel a sense of solace and comfort.

April Lopez has always had a deep-rooted love for art. Being a self-taught artist, she was never afraid of unintentional brush strokes that might seem accidental. It was through this process that the artist discovered her signature wavy and leaf-like patterns that are remarkably distinct from her art style.

The artist’s oeuvre for this exhibition focuses on her exploration of color and form. She introduces a deeper, more contrasted aesthetic of her signature style bolstered by gradients of red, gold, and white – as if to highlight and complement each element and to interconnect with our imagination.

April Lopez (b.1985) is a visual artist born in Bulacan. Her artistic process is linked to her intimate connection with elemental forces of nature as well as her fervent passion for the arts, always willing to learn and grow in every step of her journey as a visual artist. Mastering her craft since 2014 with oil as her primary medium, her abstract imagery stems from personal anecdotes about life–from being a child surrounded by nature to an artist determined to visualize a glimpse of life through different brush strokes, hues, and silhouettes.

Lopez has kept a steadfast trajectory in the art scene by being an active participant in various group exhibitions since 2020, eventually earning her three solo exhibitions showcased at Galerie Joaquin Shop, Art Plus Collectibles, and Galerie Joaquin Podium to date. She is also one of Galerie Joaquin’s rising artists.
