About the Item

Lorena is a spontaneous creator who continually challenges herself with fresh outbursts of expression in any medium that she approaches; oil on canvas, acrylic, drawing, woodblock carving, various printing techniques as well as sculpture and most recently textiles. Lorena Villalobos is among only twenty-six Costa Rican artists listed under the heading, "Modern and Contemporary Masters”, on page #233 of the new publication, Central American Modernism by Ford and Snider. Born in Costa Rica in 1961. Lorena studied Fine Arts at the Universidad Autonoma de Centroamerica and has spent her career exploring various mediums and techniques including painting, printmaking, monotypes, collographs and sculpture. Since 1989 she has taken part in over 100 exhibitions, both group and solo. Lorena is currently being exhibited by four galleries, two international and two in Costa Rica. Her work was published in Anuarium; Art and Culture of Costa Rica, pages #62 – 65. Statement from the artist: “At heart I am a Costa Rican artist; as well as an artist that is easily board. I am a personal explorer generally unconcerned with international trends or even conventional techniques. I advance my aesthetic through the depiction of my own life, my experience and memories. There is nothing I want to say to the world beyond what is common in our humanity and exceptional in the human experience of the natural world.”

  • "THE FUNNY SIDE OF ME"
    By Yuri Martinez Ramos
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    YURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "THE FUNNY SIDE OF ME" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED CUBAN-AMERICAN, C.2005 20 X 16 INCHES This piece is a type of self-portrait where I try to show the ones around me, I also have a funny side. Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964. He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983. Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma. Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas. Papillon Gallery...

  • Munch Scream vs Monalisa Smile
    By Alex Guofeng Cao
    Located in New York, NY
    In a captivating new collection, Alex Guofeng Cao dazzles audiences with his unique twist on instantly recognizable images. Inspired by history and pop culture, Cao manipulates one iconic image to create another in his extraordinary large-scale works. From a distance, the pieces appear to be a singular image but as the viewer approaches closer, you find each work is a masterfully crafted compilation of minute detailed images layered next to one another, creating a mesmerizing and hypnotic optical illusion. Cao meticulously places each smaller image to form a dynamic gradient from dark to light which tricks the eye into seeing one image. This expertise in contrast is exemplified in all of his works, from striking black and white pieces to stunning explorations in high-definition color. He cleverly mirrors this visual contrast in his subject matter by subverting the main image and creating a dialogue between the macrocosm and microcosm. Take the piece, Ali vs Armstrong; here we see the iconic image of Muhammed Ali’s victory composed of thousands of tiny portraits...
