C. LOUIS BLANK

CHARLES LOUIS BLANK (B. HAMMOND, LOUISIANA, 1948) HAS BEEN WORKING AS A CONTEMPORARY ARTIST FOR OVER 50 YEARS. HE RECEIVED HIS TRAINING AT LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY. EARLY IN HIS CAREER, HIS DREAM-LIKE PAINTINGS OF DISQUIETING FIGURES, WHICH INCORPORATED MYSTICISM, ICONIC DISTORTION, AND PICTORIAL DRAMA, LABELED HIM AS ONE OF THE FEW "VISIONARY IMAGISTS" OF THE TIME. HE ACHIEVED FAME IN THE 1980S. IN 1994, HE WAS FORCED TO STEP BACK FROM THE ART WORLD DUE TO HIS DETERIORATING MENTAL HEALTH BUT HAS CONTINUED TO EVOLVE WITHIN HIS PAINTINGS EVER SINCE. AROUND 2010, FOLLOWING HIS MOTHER'S PASSING, HE BECAME ENTIRELY HOMEBOUND. HIS WORK TRANSITIONED BETWEEN THE OX FIELD BEHIND HIS HOUSE AND PURE ABSTRACTION, INCORPORATING HIS EXPRESSIONIST COLOR SCHEME AND STYLE OF THICKLY LAYERED PAINT. HE DRAWS FROM THE VOCABULARY OF LOUISIANA’S CULTURAL HERITAGE AND HIS DYSTOPIAN, SURREALISTIC LANDSCAPES ACT AS A FOIL TO THE BUCOLIC NOSTALGIA OF HIS OX FIELD SERIES, A METAPHOR OF A COUNTRY ONLY EXISTING AS A MEMORY AND THE SENSE OF IMPENDING ERADICATION ENCAPSULATED IN THE SMALL STRIP OF LAND AS A LAST STRONGHOLD. BLANK'S WORKS ARE PART OF THE PERMANENT COLLECTION IN THE NEW ORLEANS MUSEUM OF ART AND THE HUNTSVILLE MUSEUM OF ART.

CARLOS LLANES

CARLOS LLANES, BORN ON MAY 18TH, 1965 IN MELENA DEL SUR, CUBA, GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF HAVANA WITH A DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURE. KNOWN FOR HIS ABSTRACT STYLE, LLANES CREATES COMPOSITIONS THAT REFLECT THE UNIVERSE OF THE INDETERMINATE AND TRANSFORM IT INTO UNOBSTRUCTED FORMS. HIS WORKS EMBODY THE INTRICATE STRUGGLES BETWEEN CONFLICTING FORCES, CREATING HARMONIOUS SURFACES THAT CAPTIVATE THE VIEWER'S EYE. THROUGH A SOOTHING FLOOD OF PERCEPTUAL STIMULI, LLANES ACHIEVES A DELICATE BALANCE BETWEEN THE BEHOLDER'S PERCEPTION AND HIS OWN ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. NOT LIMITED TO A SPECIFIC STYLE OR GENRE, CARLOS LLANES DEMONSTRATES HIS VERSATILITY THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT MEDIA. WITH SKILLFUL PRECISION, HE TRANSFORMS EVERYDAY OBJECTS LIKE HIS FAMOUS HAVANA CLUB RUM FILTERS INTO PROFOUND ARTISTIC STATEMENTS THAT INVITE US TO SEE THE BEAUTY WITHIN THE MUNDANE. LLANES HAS HAD AN ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER WITH OVER 100 SOLO AND GROUP EXHIBITIONS ACROSS VARIOUS COUNTRIES INCLUDING CUBA, ITALY, SWEDEN, AND THE UNITED STATES. HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO CUBAN ART HAVE EARNED HIM RECOGNITION AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PAINTERS OF HIS GENERATION. HIS REMARKABLE WORK CAN BE FOUND IN THE PERMANENT COLLECTION AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS IN HAVANA AND HE WILL REPRESENT CUBA IN THE 2023 FLORENCE BIENNALE.

As a man and artist, I sincerely admire and respect a woman’s capacity for procreation. I see motherhood as an act of sublime beauty" RUBEN RODRIGUEZ MARTINEZ
