It was in the middle of 2007 that I started work on this painting.
For some reason (most probably the fact that bike lanes had been built in my city and bikes had started popping up where before you would only see trucks, cars, and buses) the theme caught my eye (there is a vastly different City Bike II as well that came after).
It is a crazy bike. Speedy, splashing, rushing in the middle of a late afternoon in a big town. And yet there is no one on it.
It just rides on its own. It´s a new urban dweller with a life, mind and purpose that is separate and free from whomever theoretically owns it.
It´s leaving everything behind, lonely, purposeful, and yet we don´t know where it´s going. From our point of view, it is just passing us by, as if saying:”sorry, I have somewhere to go, another place to be”.
Last April I had the pleasure of visiting the Center for the Arts of Greater Manassas and Prince William County, in the beautiful State of Virginia.
What was a 7 week exhibition ended with a short lecture on the creative process and a Jazz and Tango event in the evening.
It was a great pleasure to meet everyone and to enjoy such appreciation of the artistic process.
I want to thank everyone involved for their warmth and generosity. I hope to visit that beautiful town again soon and visit some more of the important historical sights surrounding this area of Virginia.
EXPLORANDO EL DON CREATIVO EN WINE&ART (BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA)
En Abril fui invitado, una vez más, por la incansable y gentil Ligia Janeiro, factotum de ArtWork Eventos de Arte, para participar de una nueva edición de Wine&ART, la expo de arte que realiza todos los años en los muy lindos salones del Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo.
Durante dos días seguidos realizamos 2 conferencias sobre creatividad, innovación, el proceso artístico, el marketing artístico y el mercado del arte.
Agradezco enormemente a todos los artistas que se acercaron a disfrutar de un momento juntos tanto el sábado 1 como el domingo 2 de Abril.
Allí también tuvo el gusto de presentar una nueva obra (IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND) y de encontrarme con gente muy interesante que se acercó a Wine&ART atraídos por la constante y excelente oferta artística.
