"Ophiuchus" / A great photograph  by Michaelangelo Di Nonno / 2010

Here in New York City at Jadite Galleries I had a Solo Show, “The 13th Sign”,  in 2010.  It was all about the classic Zodiac, the whole twelve signs plus the ‘intrusive’ Ophiuchus.
"Ophiuchus" was a luminous assemblage depicting a ‘digital sing’ “@“ as the snake baiting it’s own tail .

One of the last days on show, by accident, it fall down to the floor and ended no completely broken but seriously damaged. It took me four years to find the way of mending it. Now "Ophiuchus" is back…as luminous as back then but...pretty smaller.

New York State of Mind No.22 / Fun!

This photograph, by my dear friend Roca, was taken last friday on the “Grounds for Sculpture” show, Hamilton, NJ.  A couple of hours driving from New York.  The image is depicting life size sculptures pretending to be an ‘impressionist painting’, and me pretending to be part of it by incorporating myself into the whole…pretension.

New York State of Mind No.19 / Folsom Street Fair 2014

This picture, by my dear friend RoCa, was taken in front of a billboard at a sidewalk level on the "Folsom Street Fair" in New York City, last Sunday.
She managed to create the 'illusion' of 'real me' stepping out of the poster, leaving behind an empty silhouette. The very artistic eye of the beholder!

Location: Curtis Gallery, New Canaan, CT

02/24/2013 -Reception at 3:00pm - 5pm

“Meditation/Space” features selections from Triana’s numerous photographic series and her video work.Light is extremely important in her photography. Triana credits the works of Renaissance artists, especially Rembrandt and Caravaggio, as inspiration for the notable variations of intensity in the background or her works, instead of the object.

After more than 40 years of working primarily in painting and sculpture, Triana debuted her first photographic series in 2002. Titled Every Time Is Now, the series features composite images of the artist’s hands, along with somewhat abstract street scenes of New York City.

Also on exhibition will be Stillness, another photographic series in which objects force themselves upon the viewer as absolute protagonists, and The Observer series, as well as other series with fewer photographs in the same medium.

Gladys Triana was born in Camagüey, Cuba, and has been a resident of New York City since 1975. She completed her BA at Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, New York; her MA at Long Island University, New York. She studied print making at the San Fernando University in Madrid, Spain.

Triana’s artwork includes prints, drawings, collages, works on canvas, photography, and installations, which have been presented in numerous solo exhibitions around the US and internationally. Triana's work is represented in Museums such as The Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York, El Museo de Arte Moderno, Santo Domingo, El Museo de Bellas Artes, Santiago de Chile, Chile, El Museo de la Ciudad, Queretaro, Mexico, Housatonic Museum, Connecticut, The Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Frost Art Museum, Miami, Florida, Art Museum of Fine Art at Arizona State University, Arizona among other.

“Meditation/Space” is sponsored by the Art Committee, Friends of New Canaan Library. The curators for this show are Micaela Porta and Susie Salomo

Cámara en mano No.9

On the news today I read :  A blizzard packing hurricane-force winds pummeled the northeastern United States on Saturday, killing at least one person, leaving about 600,000 customers without power and disrupting thousands of flights.
And on the brightside all I see is a thick, white blanket of snow magnifying  the sun light.  

A Very Special Christmas Card

An adorable Christmas card from two of my brothers in USA, Arturo and Leonardo with 'me' at center. A vintage photo from 1959, in the little town of Palmira, Las Villas, where we grew up in Cuba, now becoming kind of more global thanks to the 'magic' of Photoshop. Merry Christmas!

Hablando Bloguerias No.72

Para el estándar newyorkino mi nueva cocina es 'grande'.  La cocina ha sido un espacio que yo he ignorado 'grandemente' durante toda mi vida, que ya va para mucha. Lo poco que he hecho es fregar con ‘cierto placer’. Visto como una especie de anomalía, cuando me he atrevido a confesarlo en público.

Actualmente, todo el tiempo que ocupa mi mente en seleccionar los alimentos a ser preparados para futuras e infinitas ingestiones me parece una mala jugada del destino. Cruel.

Hoy dia (como venganza) me enfrento al ‘mal tiempo’ con una cocina de muy buena cara. ¡Buena para las fotos y mejor para el video!
