Broadway in SoHo. They are well worth the visit. He has an ability to use figurative painting to convey internal states of mind and heart. He searches for objective correlatives, as T.S. Eliot referred to the poet&#8217;s quest, for these complex internal worlds. Some of his oils are included in the show, but mostly you&#8217;ll see his recent efforts in this medium that&#8217;s been around far longer than oil.

He said it&#8217;s arduous, time-consuming and requires the building up of an image through many coats of paint, mixed from pigment and raw egg yolks. The medium was used by artists as diverse at Botticelli, Thomas Hart Benton and Andrew Wyeth. Up close, the mark-making is a marvel. It&#8217;s essentially an impressionist technique, where Reyes builds up his forms through thousands of repetitive marks, but each one has its own distinctive and precisely defined shape. The images are luminous, dreamlike and suggestive of heightened states of perception and feeling, and the workmanship is masterful, personal, fully-realized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have a few more days to catch the exhibit of egg tempera paintings from Julio Reyes at Arcadia on W.
