    Even though this title has been used innumerable times for art exhibitions, it suits perfectly Joan Belmar’s exhibition at the Chilean Embassy in Washington DC. Born in Chile in 1970, Belmar moved to Spain in 1995 and spent his first years as a full-time artist, 1995-1999, there. He then moved to the United States, where he was granted permanent residency based on artistic merit. He has lived in Washington D.C for the past 10 years. The exhibition will include around 23 pieces (paper, canvas and 3D paintings) that cover this 14-year period.

    His early works are on paper and canvas and have never before been exhibited. Rich in color and textures, they were influenced by the landscape and light of Ibiza, Spain. In the United States, he then began his mandalagraphic series (typified by “El Amor Brujo” 2005). Inspired by Spanish composer Manuel de Falla, this series sought to transform chaos into order. He then proceeded to compose photographic assemblages (The exiles series) and experimented with the use of Mylar and acetate. He has become very drawn to these materials and his new works, his 3D works (typified by Inhale Terra 2009), have brought him significant reknown.

    The title of the exhibition, while referencing Belmar’s literal journey, also denotes his constant search for new techniques and forms of expression to convey his feelings as an outsider in the many societies in which he has lived.
