Nikos Flores
principios II

Agosto 5 - Septiembre 8, 1997
Biblioteca Carnegie
San Juan, Puerto Rico

"Nikos Flores is an art student at Rhode Island School of Design. "Principios", which was on view for one month at the Biblioteca Carnegie, was his firt individual exhibit. In this show, art lovers had an opportunity to see the first steps taken by Flores in his artistic journey. Most of the pieces reveal a talented young man. Flores was born in San Juan 1976, who is in the process finding his own voice and developing a convincing artistic discourse. Among the best pieces are five well-conceived drawings; "Estudio del desnudo pequeño" I and II, (both from 1996); "Caricatura de Brice" (1995); "Estudio lineal de pimiento" and Pimiento grande III" (both from 1996). In the field of ceramics, Flores exhibited and excellent piece a la Suzana Espinoza, titled "Monstruo I". He also presents an interesting wire sculture of a dog titled "Nikita". In this first show, Flores let us know what he can do. Now he has to prove what he is really good at. I think that although his drawing skills are quite acceptable, he is much better as a three-dimensional artist. He should experiment further in this field."
