La Casa del Flamenco Sevilla
"This large pastel draws us into a suspended moment of dance. A dark-haired woman in a rust-colored dress bends to a moment in music while her upraised hands dissolve in a rhythmic clap. Her gesture and color draw us to the piece, but what is actually most captivating is her partner, a man in black who’s turned to return our gaze. DePew McLeane recreates in layered, blended strokes his sense of dignity, confidence and the years of intrinsic knowledge of the dancer’s art, expressed through his somber face and subtle turn of body. Despite the title, the subjects’ costumes, poses and colors suggest a pair caught up in the passionate rhythms of flamenco music, expressed eloquently through color and gesture."
