Throughout the exhibition, Diaz draws on recurring natural motifs, such as the sun and moon. “A moon is painted, and it establishes space, location, mood, time, emotion, pattern, weight, symmetry, counterbalance, light and reflection, and darkness; and so does a painted sun, or the contents of a room or farm. His images are not simple, but rendered gently with a poetic voice. His painting is free, but not childlike. It’s surprising and mesmerizing when you look at it closely. I like it. Cool and warm. Light within dark." — Jimmy LeFlore
