Art and Photographic Installation #77 of ‘for artists BY ARTISTS’ presents select pieces of art by Noel Aquino and photographer Alexia Fodere. Join us for the weekly network art salon that features artist and their works in a dynamic environment that’s fused along with culinary delights and music.

Noel Aquino will be highlighting some of his personal favorite pieces while revealing his latest project.

Alexia Fodere will be unveiling her latest photographic series ‘Curves’ which features 15 photographs that gives you a different perspective on the contour of the female body.

The artists…
Artist Noel Aquino www.noelaquinoart.com
Artist Noel Aquino was born and raised in Varadero, Cuba, and now resides in Florida. When Aquino was nine years old, an artist from Varadero Community Art Center noticed his talent, and persuaded him to attend classes at the center. After two years of training, his instructors encouraged him to apply to The Matanzas School of Art. Aquino was accepted to the school, and spent the next three years there refining his creative abilities and learning about art history. Much of his time at the school was spent under the tutelage of several nationally, and internationally recognized Cuban artists.

At the age of 20, the passion of youth and a non-conformist attitude towards life were reflected in Aquino’s work, and also led him to leave Cuba for the United States. Although he produced many pieces while a young man in Cuba, it has been in the U.S. where he has created the vast majority of his body of work. Much of Aquino’s early material was of the realistic nature, and included intricately detailed landscapes, and portraits. He then moved into a surrealistic period, gradually arriving at his present style, which he describes as “contemporary modernism”.

Aquino has had numerous (solo and group) shows in the Miami, and Tampa Bay areas of Florida, and in Michigan. He has sold well over 400 pieces, and his works are part of private collections in the US, Canada, Europe, and Latin America.

Noel’s Artist Statement
Like all evolving artists I have gone through various styles and phases; my present approach to painting incorporates the components of form, space, color, and texture, resulting in works that could best be described as contemporary-modernism. I don’t begin my pieces with a sketch, or an image of something tangible in my head, instead I tap into very basic internal emotions, and incorporate those inner perspectives into my process, effectively using my paint and brush, to translate and record, the “language of my mind” onto the canvas. This is not however, to say that I don’t use my artistic skills, but that I integrate those talents into my method in combination with what flows from my subconscious. I then analyze and “play” with the canvas until I feel that a work is complete. This technique is in essence what gives life to my art.

Once I have completed a painting, the images on the canvas oftentimes evoke feelings of something familiar to the viewer- these perceptions are usually based on a particular object (or set of objects) the individual may have seen in his or her own life. And although, it is not necessarily my intent to induce these perceptions, I do realize that they are in part what draws people to my work, and connects them to the pieces. This in turn brings greater inspiration for my expression; ultimately adding to my intrinsic motivation to paint.

Alexia Fodere www.omegaeye.com
Alexia speaks……
I shape the experience of and interior space with my perception of the light, it’s intensity, it’s amplitude, and its angle. Thrusting the objects in front of my camera in its way, just as the wind would do. Also, the proper balance of the subjects plays a central role enhancing the Designer idea.

Alexia’s work has been published in: Architectural Digest, Florida Design Home & Decor, Florida Design International, Florida Design Palm Beach, Casa & Estilo, Blueprint Directory, Loft, Inside Out, Electronic House, Miami Herald Home, DIning Out and Elle Decor.

Henry Ballate www.miamiartstudio.com
Fragments and Passions
My Fragments are stimulated from the passion of one artist to another showing a wide range of influences, including sources from the Renaissance to contemporary artists. Many of these works were the pornography of my childhood, and still today I look at them with the same curiosity of that child abandoned in the library.
My process starts with a collage made with the use of a computer. Observing works of art on the computer gives me the possibility of walking into a piece and stop where it provokes and excites me. The ideal model has already been created and has eternal form. I use it and destroy it purely for aesthetic reasons, recovering and bringing it out from the darkness, releasing it from its Baroque frame and putting it into contemporary context.

“Even before I was an artists I was a music fan. Music moves me, when I close my eyes I can feel the excitement that comes from the sound of the bass drum just as the performance is about to begin. It’s such a rush of emotions and it’s that feel, the way music transports me, that I hope my painting can express to other. I truly hope my paintings can bring others the kind of joy I find in music.” – Jessica Loren

GUEST EXHIBITOR – MIGUEL PAREDES

Miguel Paredes was born in New York in 1966. He is an artist and urban realist who combines the exhilarating sense of New York graffiti art with the skill and perceptiveness of a truly exceptional artist.

Growing up on 72nd Street in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Paredes exuded early signs of artistic ability and accepted an invitation to New York City’s prestigious Fiorello La Guardia High School of Music and Art – immortalized in the musical and movie Fame – in the early 1980s. His studies at Fiorello coincided with the explosion of street culture in the city. Paredes drew inspiration from notorious pop artists like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring and plunged headlong into the world of graffiti and pop art taking the name “Mist” as his moniker.

Another influential figure in Paredes’ artistic career is his mentor, Ronnie Cutrone. Cutrone was Andy Warhol’s immediate assistant at the Factory during the notorious pop artist’s most productive and prestigious years. To Paredes, his mentor’s paintings are the essence of pop: colorful, lively and highly accessible. Cutrone’s constant use of bright and fluorescent colors not only influenced Warhol’s return to such hues, but shaped Paredes’ color palette choices as well. Paredes’ piece “Ronnie is that you?
