Antonia Ramis Miguel returns to Watergate Gallery continuing her approach to Constructivist art which combines the strength of structured line along with color and abstraction to create a dramatic visual effect that arranges the parts of a subject into a whole. The influence of her native Spain, particularly the use of saturated color, is however still visible in her work; on view through November 30 at the Watergate Gallery, 2552 Virginia Avenue, NW
