Santiago Fuentes Bo Art
Argentinian, b. 1975
Santiago Fuente Bo was born in 1975 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was taught art in Centro Polivalente de Arte de San Isidro and Instituto Universitario Nacional del Arte, Bachelor in Fine Arts, and graphic design at University of Buenos Aires. Since the early years, he worked as an independent artist, a graphic designer and illustrator. In 1998 he got an Art Professor Diploma at IUNA, Instituto Universitario Nacional del Arte, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Fuentas Bo has a unique style in that he marries photorealism with surrealism. His work speaks about memories. Santiago connects personal memories with collective images. He takes from his dream world, and ties his story in each piece, bringing memories alive with pop imagery in surreal conceptions. He tells stories with timeless effortlessness; something that may seem mundane but becomes conscious in his dream like world.
Fuentes Bo displays a graphic style as he starts creating with enamel, pencils and pens on wood or PVC, connecting the world of street art and graphic design that he comes from, and creating fantastic and delirious images with an urbane and contemporary sense of humor. His hallucinatingly refined depictions of animals remind us of Frans Snyders’ portraits; that’s how we have a Dutch still life in the midst of chaotic graffiti, randomly annotated supermarket receipts, slogans, pixels, and coffee spots. The result is paintings with object-like feeling. Pieces of something that could have a previous life. Half stories with no ending. A celebration of everyday life through everyday elements.
After years working as illustrator and in the advertising industry, in 2011 he moved to Nicosia, Cyprus and set up his studio where he produces his artwork and teaches art. His work is part of private collections in Buenos Aires, Nicosia and Larnaca.(Biography provided by Lilac Gallery Ltd.)

Off the Leash - black & white, minimalist, figurative abstract, ink on paper
By Lynne Fernie
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Three black brushstrokes representing ground and rapid dashes of black, drizzled and brushed form the profile of a dog, his leash flying upwards in this work on paper. Off leash parks in Toronto where dogs run free, are places of joy for pets and their owners. The essence of this abandon is depicted with humorous affection by Fernie, a masterful story-teller. Framed size is 50 x 36 inches.

Mid 20th Century oil painting of a cicada by Belgian artist Baugniet
Located in Petworth, West Sussex
Marcel Louis Baugniet (Belgian, 1896 – 1995)
Sigale de Mer (Cicada of the sea)
Oil on board with scraffito
Signed ‘M L BAUGNIET / 47’ (upper right)
17.3/4 x 13.1/2 in. (45 x 34.3 cm.)
Marcel-Louis Baugniet was born in Liege on the 18th March 1896. Painter, theorist, furniture designer, creator of posters, costumes and stage sets, he was one of the main defenders of the notion of Pure Plastic Arts.
Baugniet studied painting at the Royal Academy of Beaux-Arts in Brussels where he mixed with Paul Delvaux, René Magritte, Victor Servrancks and Pierre-Louis Flouquet. He spent some time in Paris and decided that he would become an iconoclastic and avant garde artist. He discovered abstract art with Kandinsky, Kupka, Mondrian and Delaunay and with wonder and stupeur he also learnt of the constructivist movement, which was born in Russia with Malevitch and Lissitsky. In 1922, Baugniet then 26 years old returned to Brussels and married the Russian danser Akarova for whom he designed costumes and stage sets.
M-L Baugniet painted, designed and engraved some superb series of dansers and sportspersons (the « Kaloprosopies »), works entrenched with impeccable lines of constructed art. He painted with contemplation geometric compositions which mixed a grace of colours with the rigour of shapes. Baugniet wrote articles on esthetics and applicated arts in the magasine 7 Arts and edited, with the Dutch architect Van Tonderen, the manifesto of the movement that they called « Le beau, C’est l'utile » (beauty is useful)
Towards the end of the 20s, he separated from Akarova and in 1927 he opened his own Home Decor shop.
With regret Baugniet laid down his paint brushes and threw himself into interior design and the creation of tubular furniture, everyday objects and carpets. He remarried the Russian Olga Reich. He created a circle of ideas that included artists, writers, politicians and intellectuals of all kinds.
Throughout his career, Baugniet participated in numerous international exhibitions of decorative art. In 1977 abstraction, constructivism and Marcel-Louis Baugniet were rediscovered. Decorated and lauded, Baugniet began to paint once more and co-founded the magasine Mesures with Jo Delahaut...

"Lone Star, True But Whatever
There was I time when I ached for the world. Before cell phones, before social media, I felt the urgency of environmental damage, of social injustice.
Nothing seems to have gotten better. I'm not numb to it, but in some way I've become flip, a resigned humor like a layer of scar tissue between my concerns and the abrasion all around.
Still, I was surprised how playful these paintings became.
Disasters intertwine: Urns, much like the one that held my twin sister's ashes, a familial disaster, come to the forefront, variations of childhood memory. Images from photos I took in Port Aransas...
