ARS Atelier City Magazine / Winter 2012...click!
My gratitude:
What a great feeling!... after all these years of working against all odds, still standing and still surrounded by so much Love.
A seductive journey through four decades of art by Cepp Selgas, a Cuban-American visual artist. His early years in 1970s Havana and his coming of age in New York City, where he settled in 1980. This special issue of Ars Atelier City confirms Selgas' indisputable permanent presence in the contemporary Cuban visual arts.

Justo Vega / Exposición en ARS atelier
El claro mensaje de estas pinturas de puntillismo telegráfico, es de belleza y armonía.
El pintor enamorando su obra con minúsculos y múltiples besitos de colores.
Una obra de amor y pasión controlada. Y sin la presencia de humanos, para mantener lo limpio de su mensaje. La música puntillosita y el video me encantan. ¡Mucho éxito a mis lunáticos!

Hernán García pintando en Madrid...click!
Hernán García / Ars Atelier / Paris
Vernissage día 9 de noviembre
(a partir de las 18 y 30)
84, rue Quincampoix, 75003. Paris. Metro Rambuteau.
La suerte de trabajar en los asuntos gráficos con Gustavo, para ARS Atelier Gallery; me ha dado la oportunidad de ver un buen grupo de fotos de la obra de Hernán García. También he disfrutado de los dos videos de promoción, producto de las acostumbradas habilidades de Ricardo Vega.
Para mi; en esencia no-estar en Paris, ya es lamentable de por si. El no poder estar para esta exhibición lo duplica.
Esta obra me satisface muy en especial, por su atmosfera metafísica, con ese drama semi elegante. Un coqueteo entre la serenidad y lo inquietante. Y por la constancia en su reto de sacarle múltiples posibilidades a una misma forma.
Mucha suerte para mis Lunáticos.

Zoé Valdés / My Own Mascarón de Proa...click!
Ophelia / Acrylic on canvas / 20X40in. / ARS Atelier / Paris.
Cual antiguo Mascarón de proa, desde ayer mi Ophelia encabeza “El Mega-Buque-Blog” de la escritora y muy querida amiga Zoé. La fotografía de la pieza es de Luna Vega, esa niña que es ya, más que una promesa. La obra original sigue bajo la custodia del muy dedicado Ricardo Vega en el ARS Atelier de Paris. A ellos y al Gustavito les estoy eternamente agradecido por haber hecho realidad los sueños de un “palmireño” en Paris.

2011 / New Culver Academies Letters No.1
From Kim White class
Kim White is a Master Instructor at Culver Academies in north-central Indiana, a private boarding school comprised of Culver Military Academy and Culver Girls Academy. Students are in grades 9 through 12 and come from all over the U.S. as well as a variety of other countries.
Introducción…
Two years ago, I was lucky enough to “discover” a painting done by Cepp Selgas thanks to Vanidades magazine. It was his “Gallinita ciega” and I loved his interpretation of Velazquez’ infanta. I poked around and found additional paintings and sculptures by him and was so impressed by his concepts and interpretations that I built a unit around him and two other Cuban artists for my Hispanic Art course. After watching Cepp paint “El beso de Obbatala” in the Lunaticas video by Ricardo Vega, Zoé and Gustavo Valdés, my students asked if they could write to the artist and tell him which of his paintings they liked the best and why, to encourage him to “keep doing what he was doing”. Though I was reasonably sure that Mr. Selgas would continue to paint without their nods, I told them that if they were willing to write the letters, I was willing to send them to him. Well, they were and so I had to keep up my end of the bargain. Amazingly, through their letters, I realized that many of them felt the same sense of wonder when they examined his body of work. And though they are still somewhat limited by their Spanish, they managed to put that wonder into words and phrases. I am continually awed by the ability of art to inspire.

My 2010 Zoe' Calendar
Esta noche del primero de diciembre, y todavía en el 2010, reinicio mis “Hablando bloguerias”...y digo todavía en el 2010 pues en estos dos últimos meses he estado “outside myself”…suspendido en el tiempo.
Hoy mi cuadro “Fontainebleau” termina una serie de doce imágenes que encontraron sus inicios en el (para mi) muy halagador "My 2010 Zoe' Calendar”. Ya dicho por mí parte, al principio de sus publicaciones, que la idea de este calendario comprendió parte de lo que fue la promoción de mi exhibición en Ars Atelier en marzo del corriente. Muy agradecido con Zoé, Ricardo y Gustavo por haberme dado el Paris de mis metas artísticas. Termina este año y con el, la memoria inmediata de lo que fue tan dichoso evento.
Curioso pues, que Zoé haya escogido este cuadro en particular para “diciembre”. Con esta parodia yo saludaba a la Francia de mi primer viaje a Europa en 1988 y siguientes através del tiempo…con este cuadro que desde que lo ves, ya jamás podrás olvidar.
