About the Item
La Materialidad del Tiempo, Juan Carlos Amador grounds his recent work in two essential elements: cellulose and time. Using reclaimed wooden moldings from the 1980s and ’90s-originally designed for framing artworks-Amador transforms objects tied to the past into
modular sculptural forms. These materials carry their own histories, inviting viewers to look beyond surface aesthetics and consider the temporal layers embedded within them. Drawing from the long tradition of artists who challenge the function of the frame, Amador
reimagines it as a sculptural element rather than a boundary. His totemic constructions honor the inherent properties of the wood while referencing modernist efforts to break from convention. The absence of frames in the accompanying drawings echoes this gesture,
positioning the entire exhibition as an exploration of memory, material, and the passage of time.
Amador paintings feature a color palette that is a direct reflection of his surroundings. Growing up amidst the beaches and mountains of Puerto Rico, he draws primary inspiration from these places, which hold a lifetime of memories and experiences for him. The transparent waters, palm trees, and flowers from his upbringing are translated into vibrant, colorful paintings. The artist believes that art can shape emotions, and through his work, he aims to provoke a sense of joy. Amador enjoys exploring various mediums in his work. He has developed diverse styles, from abstract depictions to collages made from leftover painting materials.

Juan Carlos Amador López is a multimedia artist, born in Mayagüez and raised on the coast of Aguadilla. He has dedicated himself to the visual arts since completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus, with his creative emphasis placed on the concept of color. Through his contemporary works, he revisits and reevaluates the Neo-Impressionist pictorial method—also known as Divisionism—characteristic of the late 19th-century movement. His recent abstractions display a unique style and focus on optical color combinations, ranging from the fragmented application of pure pigmentation to extensive, oval shapes of semi-opaque pigments. Amador superimposes these translucent color patches with the intention of filling the plane with an assortment of hues frozen in a process of transformation. Free from the burden of a specific narrative or message, the meaning of these works depends on the appreciation of each viewer—on their individual and biological capacity to instantly perceive, comprehend, and interpret color introspectively.
Juan Carlos Amador has exhibited his work both within and outside of Puerto Rico, with his most recent exhibition having been on the island of Saint Thomas. His work is also part of important local and international private collections"

Sumit claims to have been experimental since childhood. Be it drawing, sketching, cooking, painting or photography, he always liked to do something no one has ever thought of, by adding his signature element to the task. To achieve this, Sumit creates his own painting tools to go with the techniques he thinks of.
“I usually discover different techniques to paint and construct my own tools to put the ideas into action. I pick up a theme and make a series of paintings on them. When the technique gets repetitive, I wait for another inspiration to strike, and I move onto the next series,” professes Sumit. He does not have any ‘patented style’ as he terms it to be mere repetition and limits an artist’s creativity. He adds on saying that his works are not entirely skill based as a skill needs to be perfected by doing it repeatedly; “My art is more about the excitement of how beautiful strokes and patterns can emerge from experimentation, I believe in having fun in my studio and my art is end result of it.” He also believes in impulsive acts of making art and its surprising results; “For me it is not about the number of hours spent in making one artwork or extreme skills of perfection. Its mostly impulsive with a playful skill that comes along involving certain movements, measures, materials and tools which leads to a satisfying end result.”
