New Door Creative proudly presents Confinement by interdisciplinary artist Bruno Métura. The series is a collection of enigmatic works on paper created during the early months of the international COVID-19 pandemic and is the artist’s debut United States exhibition. Confinement is available for viewing by appointment at New Door Creative from February 12th through May 15th, 2021.

Born in France of Caribbean parents, Métura resided in Germany and France before returning to the West Indies where his desire to live in his original culture was affirmed. He has exhibited widely in France and throughout the Caribbean for three decades. Métura creates as an automatic painter, permitting lead from the subconscious. The eighteen works included in Confinement are seductive engagements of shadow, color, and form, informing the viewer of the artist’s refined sense of placement and space.

In the words of the artist: “The creation in the act of painting is a journey into the incursion of thought; it visits the sensitive being in the manner of a hymn which initiates and wipes the space. It transmits to the viewer what is given to them, to engage within themselves, to appreciate and recognize, their dimension as men and women”.

Bruno Métura lives and works in his native Guadeloupe as an artist and educator.
