Surface and Symbol
Rolando Chang Barrero
UNIT 1
1202 Lucerne Ave.
Lake Worth, Florida
Opening Reception: Friday, October 25, 2013 | 7 PM
A new, unique gallery has opened in Lake Worth. Unit 1, described as a performance and exhibition space, showcases artists in all media.
Their newest show, ‘Surface and Symbol: The Work of Rolando Chang Barrero’, promises to be of the same description: unique.
After overcoming brain cancer, which halted his career for years, Barrero is having his first solo show in 15 years.
His close-up portraits depict colorful, yet dark expressions of the subject. The vibrant face in his acrylic piece, ‘El Pajaro Numero 1’, shows a serious yet peaceful expression with beautiful hues of blue, surrounded by tropical flowers that seem to blend with the emotion of the work.
It is though the dark reality Barrero has had to face shows underneath the surface of his paintings.
The opening reception and show will be Friday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., with musical performances by Jean Jacket and Sweet Bronco from 10:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.
The gallery is currently open during events and by appointment only.
When: 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday
Where: Unit 1 Gallery, 1202 Lucerne Ave., Lake Worth
Artist Info: Rolando Chang Barrero (786) 521-1199
