The one glass of wine post

June 20, 2008 · No Comments

So August is the month for my new installation.

It will be located at JUSTICEWORKS Gallery , located at the Blue Star Complex here in San Antonio, TX.

Opening, I am thinking will be on July 31st and August 1st.

I will be updating my blog with images of my progress as well as some reviews I make.

For now, I would like to post some images of the great McNay collection of the new wing:

OPTICAL ART, FOR THE 60′S

(OK…CHECK OUT THE BLURRY PARTS OF THE TOP….isn’t that cool?)

SCULPTURE

(names will be provided in the near future)

Rouchemberg, one of my favorites

This of course…..is a Judd

and I was in it:

a landscape and a blot…all at the same time.

The wild beast of art

May 31, 2008 · No Comments

The realization that art was a driving force in my life has become imminent.

I have pushed myself into annoyance of the current art scene as an adaptive mode for the events in my life, but now it is time to grow up again and take the rains.

There are many personal projects I and working on.

And a major large scale brain store in thundering in my head.

So, this blog is again dedicated for a personal update.

WHAT’S GOING ON

May 17, 2008 · No Comments

……..

There is project brewing in my mind in regards to this blog.

It may take a few more cup of coffee to figure out.

But it has been part of my revelations for a while, so I should go with the flow.

About art, well I have to say that I really haven’t put my degree to use very much lately , since I am mostly focusing on the money making part of my life.

It is something that fufills only one aspect of my life, but soon, when I get my own space, it will fall better into perspective.

SO EXPECT GREAT THINGS……!!!!

BY THE WAY, WE SHOULD ALL PITCH INTO ALEX RUBIO’S WEBSITE……OR MAYBE NOT, SINCE HE BRINGS LOTS OF TRAFFIC INTO MY BLOG ;)


ALEX, THIS IS FOR YOU………………… KEEP ON ROCKING THIS TOWN, YOUR S.A. TOWN.

L’ART DE PIPILOTTI RIST

March 20, 2008 · No Comments

Few months has past since my last encounter with the installation of Pipilotti Rist’s work.

Emotional encounters of light and sound. Familiar scenes of intimate objects and sceneries.

Those spaces that have become ignored because of there mundane aspect, but tell stories of feelings, moments and romance.

TTWG512158869

Feeling the light of the courtains in this intimate dream-like space.

Floating enlarge bodies of inspiration and that music that makes us wonder into a person’s imaginative perception.

<<<< I’ve never thougth I’d meet someone like you>>>> specially since I MADE YOU

ALEX RUBIO AT ART SPACE

November 8, 2007 · No Comments

 
TONIGHT at Artpace!!!!

Artists’ Dialogue and Opening Reception
Thursday, November 8

Using a signature aesthetic, Alex Rubio depicts his Chicano neighborhood and roots through large-scale oil and acrylic paintings and prints. People, cars, and corners are built-up with hotly hued lines wrapped in layers that generate the energy, soul, and history of the subjects. Informed by experiences working mobilizing youth through mural projects, Rubio’s images project an intimate, deeply informed, and panoramic sense of fragile yet mighty communities.

ARTPACE:
445 N. Main Ave., (210) 212-4900 Focus on contemporary art, especially Texas artists and group exhibitions by guest curators. Hours: Noon-5 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays, noon-8 p.m. Thursdays and by appointment. Free admission.

The final pollock

October 27, 2007 · 1 Comment

Here it is….I have learned so much with this painting. From the assambalge of the frame, to the technique of the dripping to the whole detailing.

There is another series of Pollock-like paintings coming up and these will be even more interesting since the will be bigger and more fine-tuned.

these photos are sort of rudimentary, but allow for some idea of how it looks.
