I was thrilled to find out that "Drifting Sun" (2010) was selected to be on the front cover of Manifest Gallery's First International Painting Annual!

 

For the INPA 1 Manifest received over 1200 submissions from 430 artists in 46 states and 26 countries. The publication includes 129 works by 79 artists from 30 states and the countries of Canada, China, England, and Germany. Essays by Patrick Adams, Charles Caldemeyer, and Blair Vaugh-Gruler are also included, along with an introduction by Manifest's Assistant Director, Tim Parsley.

Chicago area artist Elsa Munoz paints still settings and meditative moments in time, suggesting something has just transpired, or that a new sequence of events is about to unfold.  At times eerie, the work reflects her personal exploration of the chiaroscuro technique---an approach where the shadow itself acts as a dominant character in the scene.
