"My newest paintings are heavily influenced by early Hispano and Native American textiles. I have spent much time thinking about the work of my two great-grandfathers who were both weavers. I think often about their choice of colors and arrangements. I am interested in the mathematical as well as the seemingly mystical repetition of horizontal lines on a surface." says painter Emilio Lobato III. You can totally tell, but the Colorado-raised artist isn't in the business of reproductions -- his abstract compositions include pages from old books as well as line configurations at once traditional to contemporary abstraction and those richly colored weavings he's talking about above. Rusts, mustards, maroons, and mosses dominate his palette: This is work that excercises your brain and keeps you warm at the same time.
