‘The Body Imagined’

“El guerrero (The Warrior)” (acrylic and crayon on paper), by Javier Chavira (American, born in Mexico), in the show “The Body Imagined: Figurative Art in the Bank of America Collection,’’ at the Mattatuck Museum, Waterbury, Conn., June 22-Sept. 28.

His Web site says:

“Guided by both analytical and intuitive processes, Chavira’s pluralistic practice is open to using a variety media to seamlessly integrate formal elements to create pictures and objects that exist in the space between non-objective abstraction and representation, without rigidly adhering to either. Chavira’s diverse oeuvre is a testament to this distinctive approach.’’

Waterbury was once famous for clock and watch making, as well as for brass.
