"ABSTRACTIONS"
International Award-winning Monoprints
by Painter and Master Printmaker VICTOR GOMEZ

After a couple email exchanges, the day has finally come when I am able to visit this noble, calm, almost timid middle-aged man who’s art had really struck my sensitivity as I occasionally came across some images over the internet. As I slowly approach the door of his printmaking studio he respectfully welcomes me at the door. I immediately realized I was in the presence of a true master and, as I had thought, there was so much more to discover about him. Indeed, the next hour and a half spent in Victor’s company revealed my deepest sense of respect and admiration.

His amazing collection of 'monoprints' were spread on a large central table where I immediately recognize the sophisticated forms and earthy refined color harmonies… and to my greatest surprise, I discover a canvas on a wall with some initial strokes of accurately selected lines and colorful harmonies. I rapidly requested he posed for a photo for I wanted to ‘seize the moment’ of this unexpected discovery and share it many times in the future. >> Complete Article

SECONDIGNE IN LYON, FRANCE

2009-04-09T03:46:00.025-04:00

See SLIDESHOW OF WORK or visit artist's site at: secondigne.com.ar

Talented franco-argentinian painter Marcela Baubeau de Secondigne just came back from solo show in Lyon's Galerie Pons. She also showed her creations in Aix-en-Provence following the tradition of french painters' fascinating search of the extraordinary light and colors of the 'midi', as the region is referred to in France.

So many influences flourish in her paintings, to mention some: Cezanne's traits, Picasso's geometry, the colors of Gaugin, and why not, the happy curves of Matisses' lines...

You may click on the images for enlargement and read about the artist who resides permanently in Buenos Aires, Argentina where she teaches a selected group of enthousiastic followers at her atelier located in the heart of Buenos Aires, a block away from the famous '9 de Julio Avenue' and the 'Obelisco', the argentine national icon.

For further information about her paintings contact Chantal and Patrick Pons at Pons Gallery in Lyon, France.

Louis Vuitton Bal Harbor opened its doors once again to it's exclusive clientele for a night to remember.

Exotic graffiti, high-end design and big names gathered this time to commemorate Stephen Sprouse's expressive line of design. This event echoed those taking place around the world, in Paris with Kanye West's original red shoe design, in Madrid and in New York.

A live 'action-painting' show commissioned for the occasion created another '131 sought-after original' collaboration by 131projects and Johnny Robles this time to be donated to a charity organization. Many champagne bottles and photographic clicks spiced up the evening.

It all started when I was remodeling my home around a year ago. I met this father and son company through a third party trying to fix some countertop installation problems. To make the story short, I discovered these wonderful people which I presently count among my dearest friends.

Talk about creating things...

They are capable of creating, as their slogan says: "Limitless possibilities of custom design stainless steel, aluminum and bronze" in just about anything you could imagine: walls, benches, receptions, ceilings, maquettes, tables, exterior and interior doors, window sills, decorative incrustation in wooden floors, any type of signs, rails for staircases of all kinds, shapes and materials. I particularly love the stainless steel metal with the wooden stairs, it seems to be a perfect fit of material and function... Click on the video below for samples of their work.

I highly recommend them both as professionals as well as wonderful people. You can further check their work at friendlywelding.net

Project 35 'Vice City 4' by 131Projects Artist, MFA Visual Effects.

by graphikart.com

South Florida's Miami becomes the focus of international art every year and, more recently throughout the year with renown and 'less-known' events and expositions.

Talented artists of all nature and origin scroll the streets of Miami everyday, each portraying the fruits of their distinct imagination and many with amazing stories to tell...

Some, armed with Pentax and Nikons, shooting the world with passional stills and others simply remain contemplative spirits occasionally reflecting their sometimes sad existence in quiet literary expressions.

Maybe the most interesting are all of the above, yes, but mainly the 'in-between', the less known: Musicians, Dancers, Painters, Sculptors, Dreamers and Drummers, Engineers and Plumbers... who share a common existential legacy of maybe one day becoming recognized for their talents and intense passions, expression of this multi-cultured melting-pot we live in: yes, diverse, yet sometimes rude, obstinate and rebellious... but amazing and never dull.

These are, as well, some of the expressions of their art.
