About the Item

María Conejo’s proposal consists of a series of oil paintings and ink drawings that offer a profound and intimate exploration of the emotions within us. The artworks depict an anatomical landscape, where each organ symbolizes a dwelling for small goddesses engaging in play, dance, and meditation. Through each brushstroke, the artist captures a connection to oneself, a rediscovery of the body, its sensations, pleasures, and pains. By immersing ourselves in María’s journey, we descend into the inner landscapes of our emotions. Furthermore, the erotic anatomy presents pulsating organs transformed into sanctuaries of love, sexuality, and desire. Drawing inspiration from ancient medical texts, alchemical treatises, astrological imagery, and spiritual symbols, María Conejo invites us to rediscover the sacredness of the physical body. In the past, the body was not just seen as a perfect machine of nature. Rediscovering the body means feeling it, listening to it, making it our own, transforming it, and reinventing it. Two colossal guardians represent the connection between the body and nature, holding wisdom passed down through the ages by healers, magicians, sorceresses, and herbalists. These women took care of the secrets of medicinal plants, the ability to recognize health or illness through bodily expressions, knowledge of the nutritional powers of food, and the magic of words, especially words of love. Evoking the skills of magician artists, María Conejo uses lines, colors, and lights to transmute emotions. From darkness comes light, chaos gives birth to the cosmos, and formlessness gives rise to art.

By Gary Hansmann
Located in Surfside, FL
On heavy Arches deckle edged paper. This combines text or poetry in calligraphy on the side. Gary Hansmann (1947-2008) was active/lived in California. He is known for abstract, Surrealism figure painting. Gary William Hansmann was born Dec. 4, 1940, in San Diego to Ethel May Williams and Lester Hughes Hansmann. He grew up in Encinitas and served in the Army in the early 1960s. Gary Hansmann, San Diego artist, teacher and gallery owner, was known for his Surrealist nude and animal drawings and graphics. He spent time working in Paris and exhibiting his art throughout Europe, but San Diego was home until he moved to Washington state. His life partner was fellow artist, Jill Hosmer. Mr. Hansmann, a respected printmaker and prolific artist, created thousands of drawings, prints and paintings as well as hundreds of poems. His interest in bullfighting led to a book of poetry and illustrations on the subject, “La Corrida, The Run”, a collection of poetry & artwork written as he was preparing for his first bullfight. Prologue written by famous Mexican Matador Antonio Lomelin. The book is written in English and translated into Spanish on opposing pages and was published in 1983. Mr. Hansmann taught intaglio and monotype at the Academy of Fine Arts in San Diego from 1977 to 1980 and at the San Diego Museum of Art in 1980. He also gave lectures and demonstrations throughout the art community, including at the San Diego Art Guild in Del Mar and Artist Equity in San Diego. Although he attended Palomar College in San Marcos and studied lithography at the San Diego Academy of Fine Arts, Mr. Hansmann was mostly self-taught and self-educated. Mr. Hansmann had shows in several art-world capitals, including Paris; Lisbon, Portugal; Cologne, Germany; Brussels, Belgium; and New York. he had one-person exhibits at the Loft Gallery in Clarkston, the Lewis-Clark State College Center of Arts & History, the Carnegie Art Center in Walla Walla and the Valley Art Center in Clarkston. During his long, distinguished career as an artist he had numerous one-person exhibits all over the world and the United States. His group shows are too numerous to mention, but his one-person exhibits were in Koln, Germany; Bruxelles, Belgium; Paris, France; Viana do Castelo, Portugal; Lisbon, Portugal; Tecate, Mexico; and British Columbia, Canada; and many states at home.
