| Description: |
| Joan Belmar in his recent work he has created a unique technique of 3-D painting, which combines his former painting and collage techniques with painted and untreated mylar and acetate strips in circles and curvilinear shapes placed perpendicular to a painted background and then covered again (not always entirely) with a lightly frosted mylar that produces changes in transparency as light and the viewer move in relation to the work. This new work has attracted the attention of many art consultants and curators and collectors in DC: he has been asked to exhibit in WPA\C venues, has contributed successfully in many charitable art auctions; and is included in the DC art bank. Joan Belmar has shown widely, not only in the metropolitan DC area, but also in Chicago, New York, and internationally in Europe (Athens, Barcelona, London, Ibiza, Biella, Lisbon, Sevilla, Santander, Bologna, Malaga, and Rome),in South America (Buenos Aires and Santiago), and in Asia (Seoul). He work is in the permanent collections of the DCCAH Art Bank, the Wilson Building, and the Airport Art Collection, Ibiza Spain, as well as many private collections. Joan (pronounced “Joe-on”) Belmar left native Chile in 1995 at the age of 24, lived 4 years in Spain, and in 1999 moved to the United States. It is no surprise that, in 2003, Belmar was granted permanent residency in the United States |
