Alejandrina Cue – Cuban Magic in Fiber

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:57:44 +0000

Alejandrina Cue will join us from Havana Cuba for our Second Saturday opening on February 11. We are thrilled to have her and her work at COSAS. “Everything that happens to me on an emotional level, fills me and transmits to my work,” comments Ale. She has always been facinated with fabrics and believes they are like feelings; transparent, rustic, subtle, soft, happy and sad. Her work often combines different techniques, procedures and materials. She mixes painting with collage; the sum of elements and textures creates its own particular language. She looks for fabrics used in everyday life and these wonderful pieces evolve into things of beauty and heartfelt emotions.

admin — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:25:45 +0000

An exhibition of Raymundo Gonzalez paintings created exclusively for COSAS will be on display during November and December. Raymundo will join us from his home in Cuernevaca during our opening reception, November 12 from 4-8pm. His work will be on display through December. Raymundo paints and draws what he sees; a mix of Spanish and Indian cultures, fiestas, traditions, myths and colors. His work captures these experiences magnificently, giving the viewer both a taste of reality and fantasy. Trained as an architect and influenced by artists such as Goya, Picasso and Diego Rivera, Raymundo Gonzalez is reknowned throughout Latin America for his distinctive style of painting that captures the color, spirituality, and vibrancy of Mexican life and culture. His work is filled with his knowledge of structure, and he uses architectural features such as walls, roofs, towers and ladders to bring balance to the paintings which are bright, colorful magical depictions of everyday life in Mexico blended on occassion with statements about democracy and politics.

COSAS is thrilled to have the opportunity to have Raymundo with us in a rare visit to the US to introduce some of his new work.
