Iban Navarro , Untitled,watercolor on paper, 2005. 30 x 24 in. |
|
Spanish artists
Joaquin Hidalgo and Iban Navarro. |
Hidalgo's career has spanned more than half a century. His deft use of the palette where oils and acrylics shape the curves of the femenine figure, also give life to everyday objects in his dead nature paintings. In his current series, female portraits, dead nature of Spanish bodegones and the mysterious "Pierrots" share the spotlight.
Hidalgo's artistic evolution has never surrendered substance for the changes in style and techniques, making him an important figure in today's artistic landscape.
For Iban Navarro, art was something that he carried in his veins since he was conceived. His father Jesus Navarro was an exponent of hyperrealism and is a major influence in Iban's work. Born in Barcelona in 1982, the younger Navarro follows the father's style while focusing on landscapes and mixing his own vision of everyday subjects and giving it a new sense of reality.

Under the Radar: Nine Chinese Artists Interpret the Figure
Liang Haopeng, Li Jia, Cui Jin, Wang Limin, Liu Qi Ming, Zhu Yan, Liao Yibai, Liao Zhenwu and He Zubin. |
This exhibition is the second contemporary Chinese show by the downtown Coral Gables gallery in recent months. “Each of the artists in this show has a very different style and unique subject matter,” Miller says. “Several are subtly critical of their government. It’s a fascinating look into their world.”
Senior artist in the group, in terms of exhibitions, is Lu Qi Ming, whose oils depict a barely clad figure dangling above the sea on a single rope. According to the artist, “The politics of our society keep us dangling above a mysterious future, leaving us all at the mercy of the hands that hold our strings.”
The most spectacular work in the show is a triptych by Liao Zhenwu stretching across 27 feet. Its three panels are a stylized, painterly depiction of the motorcyclists in the artist’s gray, gritty hometown in Sichuan. Zhenwu’s other paintings, also rendered in shades of gray, white and black, either show other motorcyclists or are one of his series inspired by the mannikins in Beijing’s showroom windows. |

Love is in the Air
Pedro Ruiz |
His work intends to confront the splendorous Colombian landscape with the horror of its illicit exploitation and its devastating social and ecological effects. The word LOVE is recurrently present in the titles of all his paintings, which are named after popular love songs.
In addition, the music carefully chosen to be played during the opening night will further reinforce this paradoxical message. Pedro Ruiz successfully delivers his strong conviction that LOVE is the only unstoppable force, powerful enough to obliterate any personal and collective calamity. It is important that everyone wears a red garment for this opening, as well as for the alternative version of the show at the Americas Collection & Rotsen Design Gallery in Wynwood, that will open a week later, on May 10.
Pedro Ruiz’ unique exhibition forms part of a series of six presentations previously shown by the artist in various galleries and alternative spaces in Colombia.

“The strong and cohesive artistic avant-garde that emerged in Havana in the twenties was seminal in the evolution of the modern Cuban identity. Born around the turn of the century, the vanguardia painters shared the heady sense of confidence and nationalism that characterized progressive Cuban intellectuals of the time.” Professor Juan Martínez, Florida International University. Cuban Art & National Identity, The Vanguardia Painters 1927-1950.

John Amat has set his intuitive eye on the art of his native island of Cuba. The self-taught artist and entrepreneur has tapped into the bountiful island and discovered talented artists creating extraordinary landscapes and windows into the timeless milieu of the island.
The art gallery represents Cuban artists that show an array of styles ranging from hyperrealism to surrealism, as well as a diverse content area without the trappings of political, social or economic undertones. When you step inside the gallery, the breathtaking lush mountain landscapes and fauna with cavernous watering holes: or the still life consisting of the exotic native fruits wrapped by the sensuous oblique lighting: in a hidden corner, will take you far away, yet only miles away.
