Friday, April 29, 2011 - Sunday, February 12, 2012 "Beyond Fashion: Fiber and Fashion Art by Vincent Quevedo" are pieces from my past collections that are not an attempt to persuade viewers to accept my personal ideologies, but to recognize and distinguish the power of clothing relative to beauty, intrigue, intimacy and complexity. Although wearable, their intent includes a theatrical presence demanding a certain level of attention beyond that of ordinary clothing or art. This compilation also examines the potential of clothing as a sculptural entity dependent on visual cues in space. This is not to say these pieces have no meaning, indeed they do, but the literal or abstract presentation I leave for the viewer to define. These pieces are not conceptual in idealization but realized with the assuredness of my skillful eyes and hands. Each one is meant to have a story and/or provoke you to make one up. It is this story, limited only by your imagination, that gives importance to these pieces.
