They are beautiful, their craft is breathtaking, but their success depends on whether they further us, and the artist, along in the process of our own enlightenment. Gabarron?s Roots Saturday, January 28-Sunday, April 15 The sculptures and paintings of Cristobal Gabarron have been seen in hundreds of exhibitions around the world, but never in Washington, D.C.
