About the artist:
Born and raised in Montevideo, Uruguay, Alejandro Rubio is a representational painter with roots in the Uruguayan tradition of Constructivism created by Joaquin Torres Garcia in the first half of the twentieth century. Without a vague understanding of the representational practice of the last seventy years or so in Uruguay one might be too quick to reconize the work of Alejandro Rubio. Rubio’s work could be dismissed as whimsical. While there is a great quality to the work.
Rubio’s handling of the paint, loose brush and bold palette conjure locales that straddle the border beween his current home in California, the place of his birth and development. This distinct sensibility makes for an enjoyable visual journey. The work of Alejandro Rubio has been exhibited in numerous galleries and is widely collected in the U.S and South America.

Inspired by Uruguayan artist Joaquín Torres García, Alejandro Rubio’s meticulous attention to the formal elements of painting and geometric abstraction shines through in his artwork. After moving to Northern California, the luminosity and the fractured beauty of the Bay Area landscape, together with the rich local history of art and particularly the work of Bay Area painters like Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn, became another source of inspiration. His abstract landscape series refers to the California landscape as a basis to his pictorial practice which straddles between representation and abstraction. Alejandro was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, and lives and works in Oakland, California.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
Shepherd in the Pyrenees by Enric Porta i Mestre depicts a rural scene with a striking sense of introspection and evocative charm. The painting portrays a shepherd tending to his flock amidst the mountainous landscape typical of the Catalan Pyrenees. The composition captures the serenity and beauty of nature through vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes.

In this piece, Porta i Mestre showcases a mastery of color and light, illustrating his deep connection to his homeland and its rural life, which served as a source of inspiration throughout his career.

Winter Evening Fifth Avenue - New York at Night
By Ernest Fiene
Located in Miami, FL
Ernest Fiene depicts Fifth Avenue looking down from 57th Street with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building. The absence of newer glass and steel architecture gives the painting the charm of old New York. The artist captures a dark, moody blue sky as light bounces back from the clouds. This contrasts with the somewhat haunting yellow glow given to pedestrians and street traffic. The people have somewhat of a zombie quality akin to George Tooker.
