Pulling the Thread.

String Theory is a new collection by Pepe Hidalgo, an acrylic-on-canvas series that includes Pulling the Thread.

An associate signature member status with the Federation of Canadian Artists since 2018, Hidalgo creates paintings that are figurative and abstract with a style influenced by fellow Spanish painters Goya, Velazquez and Zurbarán.

For the past five years, he has had solo exhibitions around the Lower Mainland, including at Place des Arts in Coquitlam in 2017.

Last Thursday, he opened his latest show in the Michael Wright Art Gallery in the Gathering Place at Port Coquitlam’s Leigh Square Community Arts Village; the display is up until Oct. 29.
