Homero Aguilar Oceanide Giclee Print on Canvas Sea Ocean Nymphs

About the Item

Vintage Giclee print on canvas of “Oceanide” by Homero Aguilar. Marked BH6 – 3/82 and signed on reverse. “Born in Pasto, Colombia in 1953, Homero Aguilar received his art training in Cali. When this young painter was 25, he left his homeland to live and work in Paris. With no money or personal connections, Aguilar immediately began painting in order to support himself. His talent was quickly recognized, and he was accepted into more and more prestigious exhibitions throughout France. In 1980, Homero Aguilar began exhibiting in Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, Italy, Venezuela and the United States. His work was also an important part of an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Bogota entitled ""Nuevas Figuras."" Over the years, Aguilar received many awards such as the coveted Medallion of the City of Paris in 1987, as well as the First Prize in the Symbolic Surrealism Competition. In the beginning of Aguilar's art, there were ""paintings within paintings"" with references to classical masters. Images of works by daVinci, Titian and Manet appeared in Aguilar's series of imaginary museum-apartments with their alluring emptiness. Soon mirrored reflections began to emerge. Like Van Eyck in ""The Couple Arnolfini"" and Velasquez in ""Las Meninas,"" Aguilar began creating magically-complex compositions. However, Aguilar uses no props or live models in his paintings. He waits for an inspiration, a vision to appear, and then he proceeds to paint until it is complete. Measures: 18".

  • Manuel Nunez Eternal Separation Gold Leaf Mixed Media Giclee on Paper
    Located in Dayton, OH
    "Elaborately framed gilded / gold leaf giclee print of “Eternal Separation” by Manuel Nunez in 2000, pencil signed and numbered 15/75. The art shows a female figure in a long white gown with a golden halo behind her head, standing in a colonnade, under an arch of flowering branches, framed on either side with panels of gold leaf. “Manuel Nunez Spanish Artist: b. 1956. ""My images are of strong women,"" Nunez says. ""Beautiful, but not exploited. Women who are sensual and virtuous; wrestling with the underlying conflict of what life is versus what it should be."" Nunez describes the symbolism in his work in the words of a biblical scholar. Not firebrand, but a gentle imparting of the tenets of his belief. Almost every stroke is alive with the artist's own faith and the objects which serve to keep that spirit always in his sight. Manuel Nunez was born in 1956, into a family versed in the arts and Latino culture. His father, Manuel Nunez Sr., was a well known singer and song writer who recorded nine Spanish-language albums in the 1950's. ""I listen to his music all of the time, but it's only now that I really appreciate his music and what he was doing with it."" It could be said that in this atmosphere, the spirituality which shaped his creativity was upon the artist from his first breath. As he grew, it was then only a short leap of logic to jump from an exploration of his creative spirit to his human spirituality. It was a larger leap to then explore his way back from his religious roots to his art. Yet in that very transcendence is the brilliance in which the art of Nuñez resides. The use of his trademark - a hand-applied 23-karat gold leaf - is indicative of the spiritual roots of the artist and its interpolation into his work. ""The gold itself is a dichotomy,"" he explains. ""Gold can, at the same time, symbolize decadence or indulgence and the righteous purity shown in Russian icon art...
