THE MAGIC REALISM OF PAUL BOND DEBUTS AT THE RITZ-CARLTON, LAGUNA NIGUEL
11.04.20
The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel welcomes local award-winning artist Paul Bond to the oceanfront resort’s rotating art gallery space with the new exhibit, The Space Between Dreaming and Reality: The Magic Realism of Paul Bond. Now on display until early 2021, the exhibit features over 20 vibrant pieces, highlighting some of Bond’s best works emerging from the mysterious spaces between the worlds of our dreams and our daily reality.
The new exhibit provides guests and art enthusiasts alike to enjoy a cultural-meets-local escape and the opportunity to purchase a piece to take home.
Drawn from the Latin American genre of Magic Realism, Bond’s oil paintings combine surreal and fantastic elements with realistic atmospheres to unveil a world where everything is possible. As in our dreams, the juxtaposition and the altering of familiar objects - mixed with equal parts whimsy, wonder and mysticism - bring to life a world where symbolism and allegory are the primary languages. Each painting is accompanied by a narrative or poem of Bond’s creation to deepen the viewer’s experience.
On exhibit are a combination of original paintings as well as limited edition giclee (jee-clay) signed and numbered prints on paper and canvas.
Guests can purchase art by contacting artist Paul Bond at paul@paulbondart.com. For more information, please visit paulbondart.com.
