PANTA REI: Everything flows… ‘Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same river.” According to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, there is no permanent reality except the reality of change. Permanence is just an illusion of the senses. This same thought inspired Jean Nestares’ upcoming exhibitions to be held in New York City in 2010 and Seoul, London and Paris in 2011.

Jean’s previous work was based on cities, lights, movement and people, producing a mix of hectic yet poetic beauty. Today, by capturing ephemeral moments trough video and photography, Jean transforms images through the prism of the water flow. Figures float freely without being trapped in a sensation of perpetual metamorphosis. Jean’s upcoming New York City exhibit is a peek on her new theme which will culminate in a solo show in the Kyung –In the Museum of Fine Arts in Seoul in July 2011. “This time in New York I will only show photography, big format watercolors and my new series of monotypes on canvas”.

Movement and reflections are common elements with her previous work. “Movement is always at the heart of my inspiration. I enjoy recreating one subject in different medias. Formats, colors and backgrounds always bring new meanings to the original image.”

Come and discover the fascinating new work of Jean Nestares at Ceres Gallery, 547 W. 27th St. N.Y.C. from November 30th to December 5th.
