VISU CONTEMPORARY PRESENTS DAVID LACHAPELLE EXHIBITION, “HAPPY TOGETHER,” JANUARY 26 – MARCH 2, 2024

The Miami Beach Art Gallery Presents a New Survey of the Renowned Photographer’s Work, Featuring Over 30 Photographs Created Between 1985 and the Present, including a World Premiere.

 VISU Contemporary announces its new exhibition for 2024 featuring works by internationally acclaimed photographer David LaChapelle. The collection, titled “DAVID LACHAPELLE: HAPPY TOGETHER” curated by VISU Contemporary gallery owners Bruce Halpryn and Blake Pearson, will be on display from January 26 through March 2, 2024, and will feature a selection of over 30 significant photographs from the artist’s career from 1985 to the present, including the premiere of a new work.  

Highlights of the exhibition include: Archangel Uriel (1985), one of LaChapelle’s earliest figurative works displaying a stoic cherub resting on the overlook of a great forest; My Own Marilyn (2002), which presents the artist’s muse Amanda Lepore in an homage to Warhol’s Shot Sage Blue (1964); After the Deluge: Museum (2007), where LaChapelle reminds us that human survival cannot be separated from nature while precious objects are as temporary as our climate; Spree (2019-2020), inspired by accounts of Shackleton’s Trans-Antarctic Expedition, which finds a colossal mega cruise ship frozen in time within a vast, icy landscape; Behold (2015), representing LaChapelle’s ability to reimagine Old World ideas and aesthetics with painterly effect through photography; and Revelations (2019), inspired by the biblical book of the same name.

LaChapelle’s newest work, Three Graces (male) (2023), inspired by Raphael’s master painting The Three Graces (1503-1505), will also be on view. 

“We are thrilled to present David LaChapelle’s first-ever solo exhibition on Miami Beach,” said Bruce Halpryn, co-owner and co-curator of VISU Contemporary. “This curation reveals an exciting range of themes while highlighting the artist’s distinct ability to create thought-provoking narratives.  Many of the iconic works on view have become a mirror of the time we live in, while also providing a glimpse into the future.”

To celebrate the introduction of LaChapelle’s presence in Miami, the artist will be present for the exhibition opening on January 26 from 7-9 p.m. For more information, visit www.visugallery.com. 

“Since we founded VISU Contemporary our vision has been to create a New York style gallery in Miami Beach with enthralling exhibits aiming to nourish souls, our community and artists—year-round,” said Blake Pearson, co-owner and co-curator of VISU Contemporary. “It’s such an honor to welcome David LaChapelle who we’ve revered as an artist for much of our lives.”

The Artist

Born in Harford, Connecticut, in 1963, David LaChapelle attended high school at North Carolina School of the Arts. Originally enrolled as a painter, he developed an analog technique by hand-painting his own negatives to achieve a sublime spectrum of color before processing his film.

At age 17, LaChapelle moved to New York City. Following his first photography show at Gallery 303, he began taking pictures for Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine. One of his first assignments for Warhol was to photograph the budding cultural renaissance in Miami Beach over the summer of 1986. LaChapelle’s unique point of view quickly garnered international interest, and his innovative approach to storytelling established him as one of the world’s most influential living photographers.

Through his mastery of color, unique composition, and imaginative narratives, LaChapelle began to expand the genre of photography. His staged tableau, portrait and still life works challenged devices of traditional photography, and his work quickly gained international interest. By 1997, The New York Times predicted, “LaChapelle is certain to influence the work of a new generation…in the same way that Mr. Avedon pioneered so much of what is familiar today.”

LaChapelle has photographed some of the most recognizable figures in film, music, art, politics and sports, including Aaliyah, Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, Andy Warhol, Angeline Jolie, Anna Kournikova, Anna Nicole Smith, Avicii, Britney Spears, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Courtney Love, David Beckham, David Bowie, David Hockney, Dennis Hopper, Diana Damrau, Doja Cat, Dolly Parton, Drew Barrymore, Dua Lipa, Eartha Kitt, Elizabeth Taylor, Elton John, Eminem, Faye Dunaway, Giselle, Gloria Estefan, Hillary Clinton, Jackie Chan, Janet Jackson, Jeff Koons, Julian Assange, Kanye West, Kehinde Wiley, Keke Palmer, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Lance Armstrong, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lil’ Kim, Liza Minnelli, Lizzo, Madonna, Marc Anthony, Mariah Carey, Marilyn Manson, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Muhammed Ali, Naomi Campbell, Nicki Minaj, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Ricky Martin, Rita Ora, Sade, Serena Williams, Snoop Dogg, Sofia Coppola, Stevie Nicks, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Tupac Shakur, Uma Thurman, Whitney Houston and many others.

As Forbes magazine stated, “David LaChapelle’s work is not inspired by the zeitgeist; it is the zeitgeist.” 

LaChapelle has become one of the most published photographers throughout the world with an anthology of books, including LaChapelle Land (1996), Hotel LaChapelle (1999), Heaven to Hell (2006), Lost & Found and Good News (2017). Simultaneously, his work has expanded into music video, film and stage projects. His 2005 feature film, Rize, was released theatrically in 17 countries. His portraits, stage and film works of celebrities and culture have become iconic archetypes of America in the 21st century. 

Over the past 30 years, LaChapelle has exhibited internationally in galleries and museums, including the National Portrait Gallery (London), Musee de Monnaie (Paris), Barbican Centre (London), Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Tel Aviv Museum of Art (Israel), Musee d’Orsay (Paris), Groninger Museum (The Netherlands), Palazzo delle Esposizioni (Rome), Palazzo Reale (Milan), National Portrait Gallery (Washington, D.C.), Casa dei Tre Oci (Venice), La Venaria Reale (Turin), MUDEC (Milan), Fotografiska (New York) and Salone Degli Incanti (Trieste).

In the fall of 2023, LaChapelle was honored with the “Lorenzo il Magnifico” Lifetime Achievement Award at the XIV Florence Biennale.

Judith Lauand La Dama del Concreto

Judith Lauand, pioneer of Brazilian Concrete painting, 1922–2022

Art Review News 12 December 2022artreview.com

Judith Lauand, a pioneer of Brazilian Concrete painting, has died. In 1952, aged 30, she visited an exhibition titled Ruptura at Museum of Modern Art São Paulo, and became enraptured by the break from figurative painting it signalled. Inspired by Max Bill, artists including Geraldo de Barros and Waldemar Cordeiro were pursuing a mode of geometric abstraction that belied the austerity of the compositions with rich and bright palettes.

Having worked as a school teacher following her fine art degree from Escola de Belas Artes, Lauand was doing a shift as an invigilator at the 1954 Bienal de São Paulo when she met members of the group who had so impressed her two years earlier. Cordeiro immediately invited her to become the only female participant in his movement and Lauand abandoned the figurative landscapes she had previously been working on.

From there on the artist’s love of geometry was unwavering, her thickly but evenly painted compositions, produced across gouache, drawing, collage and painting, ranged from complex patterns or a few simple straight lines of colour interacting on a monochrome background. Rarely titled, each work was catalogued numerically.

Lauand took part in the First National Exhibition of Concrete Art at MASP in 1956, and 1965 saw the first of several turns in the Bienal de São Paulo, this time as an artist. While her work made less impact internationally – her first show in Europe wasn’t until 2013 at Stephen Friedman Gallery in London – she was the subject of two retrospectives at MASP: the first in 2011; the second is currently on show, featuring 128 works spanning six decades. Reclusive for several years, she did not see the exhibition.

Pintor mexicano Carlos Jorge presenta la exhibición “Bestiario”

Carlos Jorge nació en 1970 en la Ciudad de Mérida, al sureste de México. Tras vivir una temporada en Nueva York, estudió arquitectura en el Tecnológico de Monterrey, donde empezó a desarrollar una sensibilidad estética. Tras esto, estudió pintura y fue alumno de artistas como Wayne Theibaud o Knox MarHn. Su trabajo ha sido expuesto en diferentes galerías, casas de cultura y museos en México, Miami y Chicago. Carlos Jorge es un pintor que nutre su obra con el origen de sus horizontes visuales y con un panorama contemporáneo. Actualmente presenta en Miami la exhibición “Bestiario”. En México recibe el respaldo de Galería Casa Colón www.galeriacasacolon.mx y en Miami, de Fabien Castanier Gallery www.castaniergallery.com Reproducimos aquí fragmentos de un comentario redactado por el escritor y crítico de arte Juan Heiblum sobre “Bestiario”:“La producción de un bestiario en nuestro siglo provoca, inmediatamente, la inquietud y el gozo  del espectador. Más allá de la organización medieval que llevó a la construcción de los primeros bestiarios, esta forma de abrir nuestra memoria en un mapa conceptual nos permite fascinarse ante la vastedad del mundo. Se crean estos laberintos visuales en los que el artista acomoda, organiza y distribuye un  hilo conceptual. Aunque hay una sola bestia por cuadro, cada panel cita y trae a la luz una cantidad  inmensa de referencias pictóricas y culturales. Carlos Jorge presenta esta nueva etapa de su trabajo, en la que integra una evolución  cultural y simbólica del historiador alemán Aby Warburg. En esta serie de cuadros, no solo vemos  una madurez técnica, sino que también nos encontramos sorprendidos por la densidad teórica de  su trabajo. Estamos ante un artista que busca e indaga en una experimentación. Su producción nos  lleva a una lógica muy original, en la cual ningún elemento nos resulta gratuito”.

La Arquitectura Como Expresión Artística

¿Qué es la arquitectura?

La arquitectura es el arte y la ciencia de diseñar y construir edificios. Es una disciplina que abarca una amplia gama de actividades, desde el diseño conceptual hasta la construcción y la conservación. Los arquitectos se encargan de crear espacios habitables que sean funcionales, estéticos y sostenibles.

La arquitectura se puede definir de diferentes maneras. Una definición común es que es “el arte y la ciencia de la construcción”. Esta definición enfatiza el aspecto práctico de la arquitectura, su función como medio para proporcionar refugio y espacios habitables.

Otra definición de la arquitectura es que es “el arte de crear espacios”. Esta definición enfatiza el aspecto estético de la arquitectura, su capacidad para crear ambientes que sean agradables y armoniosos.

La arquitectura también se puede definir como “el arte de la forma”. Esta definición enfatiza el aspecto formal de la arquitectura, su capacidad para crear estructuras que sean bellas y expresivas.

En definitiva, la arquitectura es una disciplina compleja que abarca una amplia gama de significados. Es una forma de arte que se expresa a través de la construcción de edificios.

¿Por qué la arquitectura es un arte?

La arquitectura se considera un arte porque cumple con los criterios básicos de la definición de arte. El arte es una forma de expresión humana que utiliza elementos estéticos para crear una experiencia sensorial. La arquitectura cumple con estos criterios porque utiliza elementos estéticos, como la forma, el espacio, la luz y el color, para crear espacios habitables que sean agradables y armoniosos.

Además, la arquitectura es una forma de expresión creativa que refleja la cultura y los valores de una sociedad. Los edificios son una expresión de las necesidades, los deseos y las aspiraciones de las personas que los habitan. Por lo tanto, la arquitectura puede considerarse una forma de arte porque es una forma de expresión humana que utiliza elementos estéticos para crear una experiencia sensorial y que refleja la cultura y los valores de una sociedad.

¿Cuándo se convierte en arte la arquitectura?

La arquitectura se convierte en arte cuando cumple con los criterios básicos de la definición de arte. Estos criterios son:

  • Expresión: La arquitectura debe expresar algo, ya sea una idea, un sentimiento o una emoción.
  • Originalidad: La arquitectura debe ser original y novedosa.
  • Calidad: La arquitectura debe tener una calidad estética que la distinga de la construcción ordinaria.

Cuando la arquitectura cumple con estos criterios, se convierte en una forma de expresión artística que tiene un valor estético y cultural.

¿Cuál es la relación del arte y la arquitectura?

La arquitectura y el arte están estrechamente relacionados. Ambas disciplinas utilizan elementos estéticos, como la forma, el espacio, la luz y el color, para crear una experiencia sensorial. Además, ambas disciplinas reflejan la cultura y los valores de una sociedad.

La relación entre la arquitectura y el arte se puede observar en diferentes formas. Por ejemplo, los arquitectos a menudo se inspiran en obras de arte para crear sus diseños. También, los artistas a menudo utilizan la arquitectura como inspiración para sus obras.

Algunos ejemplos de la relación entre la arquitectura y el arte son:

  • La arquitectura gótica: La arquitectura gótica se caracteriza por sus formas puntiagudas y sus grandes ventanales. Estos elementos se inspiran en las formas de la naturaleza y en las obras de arte religiosas.
  • El art nouveau: El art nouveau es un movimiento artístico que se caracteriza por su uso de formas curvas y orgánicas. Estas formas se inspiran en la naturaleza y en las culturas orientales.
  • La arquitectura brutalista: La arquitectura brutalista se caracteriza por su uso de materiales crudos y expuestos. Estos materiales se inspiran en las obras de arte abstractas.

¿Cómo se expresa la arquitectura como forma de arte?

La arquitectura se expresa como forma de arte de diferentes maneras. Una forma de expresión es a través de la forma. Los arquitectos utilizan diferentes formas para crear espacios habitables que sean bellos y expresivos. Por ejemplo, los arquitectos pueden utilizar formas curvas, formas geométricas o formas orgánicas.

Otra forma de expresión es a través del espacio. Los arquitectos utilizan el espacio para crear diferentes sensaciones y emociones. Por ejemplo, los arquitectos pueden utilizar espacios abiertos para crear una sensación de libertad o espacios cerrados para crear una sensación de intimidad.

También, la arquitectura se expresa a través de la luz. La luz puede utilizarse para crear diferentes efectos visuales y emocionales. Por ejemplo, los arquitectos pueden utilizar la luz natural para crear una sensación de luminosidad o la luz artificial para crear una sensación de misterio.

Además, la arquitectura se expresa a través del color. El color puede utilizarse para crear diferentes ambientes y sensaciones. Por ejemplo, los arquitectos pueden utilizar colores claros para crear una sensación de amplitud o colores oscuros para crear una sensación de profundidad.

Ascaso Gallery presenta exposición de Jesús Soto en Miami

La obra del maestro Jesús Soto llega a Ascaso Gallery, con una exposición inaugurada recientemente en Miami bajo el título “Soto. Vibración Pura. Centenario 1923–2023”, en colaboración con el Atelier Soto de París y la Fundación Soto de Caracas, con motivo de conmemorarse los 100 años del nacimiento de este importante creador, considerado uno de los principales representantes del arte cinético en Venezuela.

Esta muestra, que  reúne una selección de obras realizadas por Jesús Soto entre 1951 y 2004, es la primera exposición individual de este artista que la Galería de Arte Ascaso presenta en su espacio de Miami, y la quinta exposición individual que realiza de él desde la creación de la galería en 1989, desarrollando diversas lecturas de la obra de Soto en sus sedes de Valencia, Caracas y Miami.

Según afirma la curadora e investigadora María Elena Ramos en el texto que acompaña la exposición, “Jesús Soto se consideraba a sí mismo un eslabón de la cadena de la historia del arte, con los hitos que para él fueron perfilando los impresionistas, Cézanne, Mondrian, Malevitch, pero también, desde más atrás, un creador como Giorgone y hasta los anónimos que dejaron sus imágenes en las cuevas de Altamira, fijas sobre la roca pero a la vez dinámicas en su apariencia”.

De acuerdo a María Elena Ramos, Soto dedicó buena parte de sus investigaciones “a hacer que el espectador se quedara frente a la obra, con lo que fue extendiendo su creación —plástica, espacial— al tiempo y al movimiento”.

“En la medida en que el arte fue pasando de verdad a representación, y luego progresivamente a no-representación, la luz hizo importantes aportes al creciente proceso de apertura de las formas. Y funciones inicialmente metafísicas de la luz, o funciones realistas y narrativas de la luz sobre las figuras, van a ser sucedidas por otras maneras de la luz. La penetración irrumpiría entonces en las anteriores corporeidades del arte. La obra de Soto da un paso más radical cuando hace una luz que hiende las formas, des-materializando la obra y generando una vibración que inestabiliza cualquier previa ilusión de quietud”, señala la investigadora.

En palabras de María Elena Ramos, “Las exploraciones de Soto en el tema de la luz tienen así una doble vertiente: por una parte, en lo que su obra tiene de construcción de formas y, por otra, en su necesidad de disrupción de las formas, siendo así que no sólo se inserta en la tradición de la luz que constituye, sino también en la —más moderna y ruptural— tradición de la luz que busca desestabilizar. Su obra es tanto deudora como creadora en ambos modos del arte”.

“En esas búsquedas Soto utiliza elementos muy específicos, como la línea y su multiplicación. Esa multiplicidad de líneas centra, por una parte, las estructuras racionales y abstractas de sus obras y, por otra, se convierte en zona dinámica por sí misma, área vibrátil para construir obras que son abiertas hacia el espacio y la luz; y que son abiertas por el espacio y la luz. Todos esos factores —la luz, la multiplicación de las líneas, la vibración perceptual, el quedarse en el tiempo y duración de la obra, el movimiento del ojo y del cuerpo—, se conjugarían para crear la muy personal participación de Soto en el cinetismo. Un cinetismo de la vibración, podríamos agregar”.

“Jesús Soto llega a hacer de la vibración —eso tan frágil por naturaleza— una de las más firmes constantes de su obra. Y convierte esa inestabilidad vibratoria que se genera para la visión en estructura definitoria y elemento estable de su lenguaje. En la búsqueda de su utopía de la ‘idea pura’, había ido creando la luminosa vibración pura que acompañó su trayectoria y que define sus obras mayores. Su tridimensionalidad vibrante lo llevaría más allá en el camino de las obras abiertas”, expresa María Elena Ramos.

Nacido en Ciudad Bolívar, Jesús Rafael Soto (1923 – 2005) desarrolló una amplia y reconocida trayectoria artística durante la cual recibió numerosas distinciones, entre las que destacan el Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas de Venezuela en 1984 y el Premio Nacional de Escultura otorgado en Francia en 1995, y su trabajo se ha exhibido en importantes exposiciones a nivel internacional.

Según el texto del catálogo de la muestra, desde sus inicios Soto intenta ir más allá de la representación bidimensional de las formas geométricas con el fin de introducir el movimiento, utilizando para ello el método de la repetición. En 1953 explora la tridimensionalidad, al superponer dos placas de plexiglás pintadas que parecen animarse con el desplazamiento del espectador. Siguiendo este mismo procedimiento, en 1957 lleva a cabo sus primeras Vibrations, piezas constituidas por marañas de hilos de metal y materiales que consigue en la calle, colocados sobre una superficie estriada en blanco y negro: la trama, creando así el efecto moiré. Soto va radicalizando y sistematizando la utilización de esta trama como soporte, superpone elementos diversos (varillas suspendidas y móviles, cuadrados de metal o elementos a los que llama tes: pequeñas piezas metálicas en forma de T), que aparecen y desaparecen de acuerdo con el movimiento del espectador, dejando entrever un espacio “intersticial”: la vibración, el vaivén de lo invisible y lo visible, de lo material y lo inmaterial. En 1967 realiza sus primeros Penetrables, piezas compuestas por varillas de metal o filamentos de nylon suspendidos en el espacio. El artista invita al espectador a penetrar, a desplazarse, a integrarse a la obra.

En 2023, año centenario de su nacimiento, se rinde homenaje al artista mediante numerosas exposiciones como las que se organizan en la Galería RGR de México, Dan Galería de São Paulo, Hispanic Society de Nueva York, el Coral Gables Museum y la Galería Ascaso de Miami, además de, en Venezuela,  los museos de Bellas Artes y de Arte Contemporáneo de Caracas, el Centro Cultural B.O.D. y Centro Banaven Cubo Negro, entre otras.

La exposición “Soto. Vibración Pura. Centenario 1923–2023”, se estará exhibiendo hasta el 29 de febrero de 2024, en Ascaso Gallery, 1325 NE 1st Ave. Miami, Florida, Estados Unidos. El horario es de lunes a sábado de 10:00 a.m a 6:00 p.m.

The color is one whose warm and welcoming embrace conveys a message of compassion and whose cozy sensibility brings people together and enriches the soul,” added Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. “In the spirit of PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, we reflect back on the last 25 years of the Pantone Color of the Year program grateful to provide an avenue where designers and color enthusiasts all over the world can engage in a conversation about color, be inspired by color and showcase their creativity within their communities.

Arte Concreto: Un Movimiento Abstracto que Se Basa en la Forma y el Color

El arte concreto es un movimiento artístico que se desarrolló en la década de 1930 a partir de la obra de De Stijl, los futuristas y Kandinsky en torno al pintor suizo Max Bill. Se caracteriza por el uso de formas geométricas simples, colores puros y la ausencia de representación figurativa.

Artistas destacados

Algunos de los artistas más destacados del arte concreto son:
Max Bill, artista del arte concreto
Jean Arp, artista del arte concreto
Theo Van Doesburg (Países Bajos)
Piet Mondrian (Países Bajos)

El Manifiesto del Arte Concreto

El manifiesto del arte concreto fue escrito por Theo van Doesburg en 1930. En él, Van Doesburg define el arte concreto como “un arte que se basa en la forma y el color en sí mismos”. Afirma que el arte concreto no representa el mundo real, sino que crea un mundo nuevo a partir de las formas y los colores.

¿Qué es el Arte Concreto?

El arte concreto es un movimiento artístico que se caracteriza por el uso de formas geométricas simples, colores puros y la ausencia de representación figurativa. El objetivo del arte concreto es crear un arte que sea puramente visual, sin referencias al mundo real.

¿Cómo comenzó el arte concreto?

El arte concreto se desarrolló en la década de 1930 a partir de la obra de los movimientos De Stijl y el futurismo. El movimiento De Stijl, fundado por Theo van Doesburg, se basaba en el uso de formas geométricas simples, colores puros y la ausencia de representación figurativa. El futurismo, fundado por Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, se caracterizaba por su exaltación de la velocidad, la tecnología y la fuerza.

¿Qué es y cuáles son las características del Arte Concreto?

El arte concreto se basa en los siguientes principios:

Uso de formas geométricas simples: El arte concreto utiliza formas geométricas simples, como cuadrados, rectángulos, círculos y triángulos.
Uso de colores puros: El arte concreto utiliza colores puros, sin mezclas.
Ausencia de representación figurativa: El arte concreto no representa el mundo real, sino que crea un mundo nuevo a partir de las formas y los colores.
Arte concreto en Brasil

El arte concreto se desarrolló en Brasil en la década de 1950, a partir de la obra de artistas como Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica y Waldemar Cordeiro. Estos artistas se inspiraron en el arte concreto europeo, pero adaptaron sus ideas a la cultura brasileña.

Arte concreto en Argentina

El arte concreto se desarrolló en Argentina en la década de 1950, a partir de la obra de artistas como Tomás Maldonado, Alfredo Hlito y Jorge Soto. Estos artistas también se inspiraron en el arte concreto europeo, pero desarrollaron sus propias ideas y estilos.

Arte concreto en Cuba

El arte concreto se desarrolló en Cuba en la década de 1960, a partir de la obra de artistas como José Manuel Fors, Raúl Martínez y Servando Cabrera Moreno. Estos artistas se inspiraron en el arte concreto europeo, pero también incorporaron elementos de la cultura cubana.

El arte concreto es un movimiento artístico importante que ha tenido un impacto significativo en el arte moderno y contemporáneo. El arte concreto ha inspirado a generaciones de artistas, y su influencia se puede ver en el trabajo de artistas de todo el mundo.
