* holy beauty :: belleza sagrada :: la beauté sacrée

I’ll be exhibiting in Rennes, starting the 1st October, in the former location of a Polish restaurant, Niebieski Kon (The blue horse). During the entire month, I’ll be showing a series of unedited drawings and paintings (I’ll post a small preview on the blog soon). The owner and chef of the restaurant -who moved to a bigger place just across the street- will delight us with some typical Polish treats on the day of the launching. The title -in Polish- means “Holy Beauty”.

More good news: an article about me has been published in the first issue of international magazine Arte Libertino, which focuses on Latin American arts and culture. I have been invited to participate with my work on the occasion of the magazine’s launching. To read the article (in Spanish) follow this link : Los oscuros ríos del corazón by Felipe Clavijo.

On another note, I’d like to take the opportunity and make public that, after a year and a half of endless postponements and vague answers, I have decided to call off the exhibition in Paris that was due for November 2009 at Door Studios. The lack of seriousness and reliability from the gallery’s team forced me to cancel the -yet hypothetical- event, that was being planned since April 2008. Regretfully, I had accumulated and reserved a considerable amount of work, which led me to turn down some very good exhibition and sales opportunities. I want to make clear that I was always honest and prompt towards the people at Door Studios, and in response I got complete negligence and incapability to deliver on previous agreements, along with several ignored phone calls and messages. In other words, a total lack of professionalism.

Thank you to those in Paris who’ve shown interest in viewing my work live. Although I’m sorry that this time it won’t happen, I’m certain that it will in the near future. I’m eager to show all my new work and willing to seize new opportunities. I’ll continue my research. In the meantime, see you in Rennes!
