Puente

Two years ago I can recall seeing Puentes work at the Galleria 409 during an open group show, I would say poorly framed pen drawings on note book paper depicting the innocence of small children which I thought were of a Sunday pass time artist. Now present day Puentes work stands a little taller from a few years ago, bringing forth a one man or in this case one woman show worthy for the Galeria 409. It can be said that some of Puentes new paintings are very similar to that of Oscar Avlarez, surreal, mystical and whimsical . Puentes presentation has also taken a turn for the better from two years ago with more professional framing and presentation. Overall her work as a whole does carry a consistency, great quality, but I didn't feel the subject matter of one painting stood out beyond all the others with a strong message, in a sense it is a world of humanly creators with no purpose (perhaps a life in purgatory) , but then again what is the human purpose in life I thought or possibly a reflection of that istself, in the end people see what they want to see..
The future questions the work of Puente, will it remain consistent to this style of work for the rest of her life, now at the start of her painting carreer .......
