The Lincoln Eatery presents ‘A Retrospective Of A New Beginning’ by Masplata

 


The Lincoln Eatery presents ‘A Retrospective Of A New Beginning’ by Masplata on Sunday, February 28th from 1-4pm. Experience a magical exhibition ‘A Retrospective of a New Beginning’ featuring the work of artist Masplata. Meet the artist and learn about his work and enjoy global inspired food and cocktails at the Lincoln Eatery. This event is free & open to the public, please RSVP here.

'A Guardian Portal', Oil and Ink on Canvas, 39 x 82 1.5 inches

Masplata uses a variety of different mediums in his work such as watercolors, pastels, oils and most notably his fine ink drawings, which he sometimes combines with oils. The Art produced by Masplata is inspired by a world that most of us cannot see, but we take comfort in its existence. It is a spiritual world of divine entities that protect and balance the universe. The custodians of this world help Masplata bring the message of hope. His Birds provide refuge and relieve anxiety. His signature Dove brings peace. One of the first to appear in his work was the Wiseman, the sower of the seed. The Women bring life and light while the Angels maintain order and harmony. This world requires the viewers time and attention to slowly digest each hand drawn line and paint stroke.
