About the Item

In this piece, Baiju Parthan elaborates in the workings of a mysterious inner universe through his mixed media composition. Here, the artist explores the imagery of mandalas and Tibetan tangas. Genre: Other Subject: Abstract Medium: Mixed Media Country: India Dimensions: 26" x 15 1/4" (including the black backing) Dimensions w/Frame: 27" x 16 1/4" Baiju Parthan (born in 1956 in Kerala), a painter, is known as a pioneer of intermedia (digital) art in India. While elaborating the workings of a mysterious inner universe through his paintings, Parthan has combined his painterly concerns with his explorations of cyberspace to produce a series of provocative, richly textured installations. Parthan went to Goa and enrolled in a five-year course in the fine arts, running from 1978-1983. Parthan began to study the Indian mystical arts, exploring tantra, ritual arts, and Indian mythology. Simultaneously, Western art continued to exert an influence. In the early 1980s, Parthan decided to quit painting that’s when he enrolled in a course on comparative mythology at Bombay University, and began working as a writer and illustrator. He returned to painting in the early 1990s, when he began to explore the imagery of mandalas and Tibetan tangas. In 1995, Parthan began to study computers, learning hardware engineering, building his own machine, and creating programs. Parthan has combined his painterly concerns with his explorations of cyberspace to produce a series of provocative, richly textured installations. Baiju Parthan's works focus on the instrumentalization of nature for human use and consumption. Parthan has held several successful shows in India, China, Germany and the U.K. The long list of solos include ‘Dislocation: Milljunction Part 2’, Aicon Gallery London in 2011; ‘Milljunction’, Aicon Gallery, New York in 2010; ‘Liquid Memory + Rant’, Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi in 2007, ‘Source Code’, Art Musings, Mumbai at Museum Art Gallery in 2006, ‘Vapour’, New Media Prints, The Guild Gallery, Mumbai in 2005 besides a few others. He has also participated in major group exhibitions such as the IX Asian Biennale in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Parthan was the Artist in Residency at Gallery Seven Degrees, Laguna in 2001, Nominee for Artist of the Year, Sotheby's, London in 2000 and Recipient of the Lalit Kala Akademi Merit Prize in four consecutive years i.e.from1978 to 1981.

Feliciano Bejar REHILETE #2 Mixed Media Avant Garde Artwork
By Feliciano Béjar
Located in Surfside, FL
Genre: Latin American Subject: Abstract Medium: Mixed Media, Collage Country: Mexico Dimensions w/Frame: 16.75 x 16.5 Feliciano Béjar Ruíz (1920 – February 1, 2007) was a Mexican artist and artisan, best known for a style of sculpture called “magiscopios” which involved various materials along with crystals and/or lenses to play with light or create distorted visions. He was born in rural central Mexico and was completely self-taught as an artist. He was creative as a young child, drawing and creating his first sculpture like pieces from papier-mâché. His art career began in New York, where he had travelled and lived for a time in Hell’s Kitchen. His drawing the attention of Arthur Ewart and Frances Coleman, with the latter helping him have his first exhibition and whose husband helped sponsor his time in Europe. In his later life, Béjar withdrew from the art world for about sixteen years, disillusioned with it and retreating to his ranch in the State of Mexico. He returned in 1998, with a retrospective of his work in Mexico City and continued to show his work until shortly before his death. He worked as an assistant to a carpenter, sweeping out the shop in exchange for wood scraps. He used these to create toys and even large imaginary cities. When he was fifteen, he began to teach himself art using various scrap materials. At this time muralist José Clemente Orozco was in his town to paint scenes of the Mexican Revolution on the town library. Bejar brought him some drawings to show, he did not want to see them. Later in life he stated that he did not think well of the muralists and considered them false and frauds. He said that their work was supposedly for the people but they could not be understood without interpretation and the main ones (Rivera, Siqueiros and Orozco) shut out other artists. When he got to New York in the 1940s, he was disappointed and thought it ugly. He wanted to return but had no money so he had to work menial jobs and live in Hell’s Kitchen. During this time in New York, he was put in touch with English painter Arthur Ewart who encouraged him to get back to art, particularly painting. He also met socialite Frances Colman, while copying paintings...
