Tata Fernandez

MARIAVELIA SAVINO, CHIEF CURATOR For the past years, Contemporary Art Projects USA has included the curator figure in all its events and exhibitions; one of its major initiatives being the creation of a curatorial assessment and support program that encompasses the artist’s trajectory of a work from conception to completion. This mentorship is based on a one-to-one relationship between the artist and the curator where the artist expresses ideas, intentions, and reflections about the creative process that initiates a cooperation between them that develops into a project rather than an isolated piece without a totality. Each project is created according to the theme determined by the institution or fair where it will be exhibited, in that way, the curator figure in Contemporary Art Projects USA develops a comprehensive group of projects for each exhibition; as is the case with Art Santa Fe 2018, where collectors, art lovers, and visitors will be able to appreciate an expertly orchestrated solo and collective project– all under one curatorial guidance, yet cognizant of and attentive to each artist’s unique creative process. It is our firm objective to continue to nurture and expand this curatorial service with our creative artists so that we can help them grow their careers; especially where it pertains to emerging artists.

ART LAB 1 INSPIRATIONS OF GEORGIA AND FRIDA “Contemplating Frida”

Miguel Paredes Curated by Mariavelia Savino located at the Pre-Function Area Sponsored by Contemporary Art Projects USA An installation that exemplifies the Art Santa Fe 2018 show theme, [ALLURE]. Combining the influences of Georgia O’Keeffe and Frida Kahlo, Miguel Parades’ inspirational piece “Contemplating Frida” uses his celebrated techniques to show us the enigmatic allure that each of these iconic women artists have brought to us over the decades—inspiring us still today. Paredes’ New York background combines cutting-edge street art, POP and Japanese animation for his own trend-forward genre. His unique urban realist style is inspired by Keith Haring, Andy Warhol and his mentor Ronnie Cutrone, Warhol’s assistant at The Factory. The bright fluorescent colors have shaped Paredes color palette and inspired his approach. With exhibitions from Miami to California, London, and Paris; licensed product lines featuring his iconic collection of music legends and album art; and plans for an-anime-inspired cartoon series, Miguel Paredes is a busy in-demand artist. He takes pause to admire and reflect on the inspiring impact of two iconic women artists from the past and the incredible importance and durable strength of their influences today.

A FRIDA KAHLO TRIBUTE Artworks by Invited International Artists/Mexico Ricardo Cardenas and Ricardo Lowenberg Curated by Mariavelia Savino

Frida Kahlo, July 6, 1907-July 13, 1954, Mexico City, Mexico, outstands worldwide for her remarkable celebration of Art, creativity, life, rebirth, love and beauty. Frida said: "Painting completed my life... I am happy to be alive if I can paint... I paint selfportraits because I am so often alone, I am my own muse, I am the subject I know best... Really, I don't know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself... I paint flowers, so they will not die... I never painted dreams, I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to...â&#x20AC;? This July, Art Santa Fe Fair 2018 takes place, one hundred eleven years after Frida's birthday on July 6, 1907 and sixty-four years after her death on July 13, 1954. At Booth 205, we commemorate her unique extraordinary life and contribution to the Art of painting with a tribute of exquisite artworks made by two outstanding Mexican Artists, who in their own style have Frida as an important reference and inspiration for their artistic creation, as well as have made her a significant subject in their artworks that are also an impacting vision for the ALLURE Fair theme.

Ricardo Cárdenas cleverly uses concrete and steel bars as artistic media, connecting with his career as construction engineer. His Series Tributes to Great Masters celebrate ART from master artists. His artwork, “El Juego de las Fridas”, presented by Contemporary Art Projects USA at RED DOT 2017 sold during the Opening Night. To merge the ART by Mexican Frida Kahlo and American Andy Warhol over a reminiscence of the Tic Tac Toe game allowed him to paint nine images of Frida displayed in the characteristic multicolored Warhol manner. The globally played game to tell that Master Art is as accessible to all people. At Art Santa Fe 2018, Cardenas exhibits “The Queen of Hearts”, a painted portrait of Frida over a large playing card on his usual canvas of cement and iron bars. Cardenas says: "In real life concrete won't hold without internal steel structure. In the artistic image, concrete is life's hardness and coldness, unbearable without the internal strength of the steel perceived trough windows that are as a person's internal x-rays. In my sculptures bars penetrate the body that has also an internal wood structure symbolizing the warmth of the soul that all persons have, determining their kindness."

Ricardo Lowenberg paints refined textures in lapis lazuli, silver or gold leaves, influenced by European Impressionism, Mexican muralists and masters. At Art Santa Fe 2017, he sold Mi Frida 3 large painting presented by Contemporary Art Projects USA. In 2018, Lowenberg exhibits three impressive Artworks from his Series “Los Sueños de Monica” a fantastic idyllic woman artist, beautiful with a strong character. Lowenberg says: "The Kahlo family and my grandparents were neighbors at Coyoacan, México. From childhood, I was deeply influenced by Frida's artworks, colors and shapes. Her paintings shocked and fascinated me... When later, I begun to understand better her art, my admiration for her became stronger... Always attracted by strong colors of great luminosity and definition, the human figure, especially the eyes that I feel are a window of the soul, I painted a strong severe Frida with the sweetest eyes I was able to depict. My grandmother used to say: a very special girl, strong as a rock with a gaze sweet as bread..."

"Starting from traditional mother-of-pearl techniques, which combine both lacquer and mother-of-pearl my artwork has evolved into contemporary art and even an intriguing and original genre of art."

Chae, Rim Unique worldwide celebrated Korean Artist, Rim Chae, began her career as jewelry designer in the year 2000, receiving awards at the International Pearl Design Competition by Mikimoto, 2001 and 2005, and the Asian Facet Award by Signity Hong Kong in 2001. Following her success as a jewelry designer, today she cultivates her creative passion as a multifaceted Artist. She conceives sculptural, one of a kind, masterly Artworks with elements from both mediums, combining on her paintings traditional jewelry designs of silver 925, lacquer and mother-of-pearl. Rim Chae says: "My work may seem like the

techniques of Najeon Chilgi, Korean lacquerware inlaid with mother-of-pearl, which involve creating patterns out of mother-of-pearl and applying lacquer above it. However, when met with my experience as a jewelry designer, such techniques are transformed into a completely new form of work. Inspired by nature, traditional motifs crafted from silver and mother-of-pearl are carefully laid upon several coats of lacquer by hand. This meticulous process is finally finished after the silver and mother-of-pearl motifs are fixed upon the lacquered surface. Such works are complex pieces. They can seem to be twodimensional, yet three-dimensional; traditional, yet contemporary; paintings, yet sculptures simultaneously." Her love and celebration of 'Allure in Nature' at Art Santa Fe 2018, will show a unique collection of six works from the series Once upon a blue day and two from the series Spring in My Hometown, all including mother-of-pearl, pearl, silver 925 and natural lacquer on wood. The Artist says: "Lacquer and mother-of-pearl are the perfect ingredients for portraying an artist’s perception and sensitivity for nature, as they both come from nature itself. The soft, yet strong curves of the silver, and the delicate, yet rough texture of the lacquer somewhat illustrates the breaths of trees and the wind entwining through a forest. It is not an easy task, as new colors are mixed every time from natural materials and pigments, and the colors change according to humidity during the painting process. Even so, lacquer has its own charm, with its longevity as well as being resistant to both water and humidity. To this day, I am continuing my work with series and variations inspired by trees and forests. While I focused on the colors of lacquer and the voluminous feel of silver and mother-of-pearl in my early pieces, I currently enjoy using new lacquer techniques to portray images of forests and channel my own emotions into these images." Rim Chao exhibited her exceptional Artworks at the Start Art Fair at London’s Saatchi Gallery 2017, was the first Korean to win the SOLO Award at Art Expo New York 2017, also awarded by the International Andre Malraux Association at the International Cultural Heritage Fair, Paris. Her shows include venues in New York, Paris, and The Musing Forest at Hakgojae Gallery in Seoul. She has exhibited in New York, Cologne, Singapore, Taipei, London, Paris, Brussels and Toulouse Art Fairs. Her impressive and exquisite Artworks have created a solid bridge between modernity and tradition, inspired by Nature interpreted by her feelings, showing extraordinary refinement, mastership and uniqueness for the enjoyment and appreciation of viewers and Art Collectors. According to the Artist's words: "By conveying the traditional Korean aesthetics

of ‘yeobaek (the void)’ and simplicity onto traditional materials such as lacquer and mother-of-pearl, I hope that my viewers will also feel the interactions and emotions I have experienced with nature."

Kevin Cross was born and raised in Limerick, Ireland. He studied Business Studies at the University of Limerick and emigrated to the US in 1996. In 2006, he moved to New York City and studied Fine Art at Hunter College. In 2014, he began to develop a serious artistic practice and started to show his Art. Kevin Cross says: "As

a geometric abstract painter I am drawn towards architecture and design. My main influence is my urban environment and surroundings in New York City. I spend a lot of time walking the streets and I am heavily impacted by the cityscape that surrounds me. I notice everything, every line, shape, pattern, texture and grid. It all comes out when I paint. Painting is how I make sense of my world and how I interpret my experiences. I enjoy combining the precision of hard edge geometric abstraction using acrylic paints with a more organic and fluid mark making technique using alcohol inks. I will generally begin a painting creating a grid structure with inks and then build layers of acrylic lines and intersections on top of that. I also play around with depth perception and the use of negative space to create a light source and a three-dimensional effect. I strive to make art that engages the viewer from both close and from far away at the same time. My artistic influences are many, from the optical art of Bridget Riley, English b. 1931, and Julian Stanczak, Polish- American 1928â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2017, to the street murals of Hamburgbased Polish artist 1010zzz and Felipe Pantone, Argentine b. 1986, based in Valencia, Spain, and the repetitive mark making of Sol LeWitt, American 1928â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2007. I am also heavily influenced by rhythmic music like dub techno and dub reggae. This is what I listen to when I paint, and I feel it helps to influence what I create. My style of painting has often been referred to as meditative." After the Cubist movement changed the way to perceive art depiction, Geometric Art developed towards radical conceptions declared in manifestos, around which new groups formed. Piet Mondrian restricted his paintings to primary colors, black, white and gray, using perpendicular lines to divide pure geometric images. The unique exquisite Artworks by Kevin Cross show the endless Abstract Geometric field, source of creativity and visual expression, where each artist finds a niche to transmit feelings, esthetic or philosophical proposals, to the contemplation of viewers from any walk of life, to Art connoisseurs and collectors. One intrinsic quality in Kevin Cross Art and intellectual conception is his global openness in time and genres related with the Geometric and Abstraction, from master artists to emerging, from painters and printers to street muralists, that he analyzes to achieve the best results on his own unique Art. Represented by Contemporary Art Projects USA at Art Santa Fe 2018, Kevin Cross will show four significant Artworks entitled Geometric Implosion, Mosaic, Boxed in red and Boxed in grey that are also a key answer for the ALLURE theme of the Fair.

Kelly Fischer, European Invited Artist by Contemporary Art Project USA, shows at Art Santa Fe an impressive diptych, vibrant, multicolored and powerful of, entitled Santa Fe Ridge 1/2. By inspiration and depiction, it follows the Fair's theme 'ALLURE'. These paintings by Kelly Fischer depict an image and an event, describing the emotions felt reaching the Santa Fe Ridge. Kelly says: "The colors

that one chooses as an artist, are an unveiling of our creative personality. My intention is to provoke and present evocative artworks that leave an imprint on the soul... Color forces us to see things differently and does have an impact on the viewer... Shades of grey help to grasp and pay attention to line, shadow, and texture. But, the most significant feature is the strength in the piece itself... I developed a passion for painting and storytelling at young age... Over time painting challenged me in a way that nothing else ever had. I get a lot of satisfaction out of creating whatever I want...no rules or boundaries. Writing and painting are different yet the same. My dream is to reach a larger audience. The support received in both Europe and the States is influential in helping me to forge my career." The Artist is the hand that produces vibration contacting the human

soul. Abstraction had endless evolutions, new meanings and ways of representation. However, as Wassily Kandinsky, 1866-1944, told nearly 100 years ago, sensibility will always remain as the last instance and, I would add, as the first source for human inspiration. Abstract Art leads to simultaneous experiences of the effects of color, form and symbol. Viewers reach intimate sensations and thoughts that artists provoke in their works. Abstraction is a way for artists to depict feeling, transcending descriptions of object or subject. Emotion is paramount, taking over subject life rendering. Often Abstract Artists won't represent the observable world, expressing their ideas or sensations through simplified or created forms, re-inventing movement and volume. American Master Jackson Pollock, 1912-1956, said: “When I am in my painting, I am not aware of what I am doing… because the painting has a life on its own.” Kelly Fischer, will create a special Lab Project for children during the Miami Dade College Continue Education Summer Camp at MDC West Campus Art Gallery Doral, followed in October with a Solo Exhibition “The Most Beautiful Color of All”, in cooperation with Contemporary Art Project USA, inspired by Kelly's award-winning, wonderfully illustrated children’s book of the same name. A trained teacher, founder and former Headmistress of The English Montessori School of Bern, Switzerland, her Art is in Art Collections worldwide. Presented by Contemporary Art Projects USA, at Art Concept 2016, during Art Basel Miami week; in 2017, at Art Palm Beach, Art Boca, Art Santa Fe and Variations on the same Subjects: People, Nature and Geometry at the ArtsPark Gallery of Hollywood, FL; in 2018, at Art Palm Beach and Art Boca. Also had solo shows in New York and Europe. By Mariavelia Savino Chief Curator, Contemporary Art Projects USA

BO MI JO born in South Korea, Bo Mi Jo is an Artist and a brand designer based in New York. Since childhood, she has been a widely awarded dedicated artists, whose creative talent developed in diverse artistic fields, such as painting, calligraphy, music or writing. Art has been her loving companion for life. Established in New York City to study Advertising from 2008, Bo Mi Jo graduated with honors in 2011 at the School of Visual Arts, receiving awards in major international advertising shows, such as the ADC annual awards and Clio awards. In her Artist Statement she explains that after her graduation, while she pursued a career as a brand designer, life in the fast-paced city swept herself along by everyday tasks. She found that her mind was floating all over the place and losing the mindful connection with the present moment. She questioned what art should do in the busy city life and in 2016, she started the concept and practice of ‘the power of presence: Placid Lake’. In 2018, Bo Mi Jo introduced her ‘Placid Lake’ Series to the public and was invited to AD Art Show at Sotheby in New York and to Art Expo New York. Her Art has achieved considerable attention from galleries and art professionals and during the next twelve months she will participate in more than eight exhibitions. Following the Impressionist style of painting focusing on the impression produced by a scene or object using unmixed primary colors and small strokes to depict light, shadow and color, Bo Mi Jo moves a step ahead with her minimalistic delicate compositions that insinuate a subject matter and three-dimensionality using a defined color on circles surrounded by a subtle shadow on a geometric background. Moreover, as the Cubist movement introduced subject matter depicted by geometric stylizations and flat surfaces of the picture plane, Bo Mi Jo, declining a literal imitation of nature, depicts in her paintings a new unique reality of delicate objects that will express her message and search for universal harmony. Through the years, Geometric Art explored new approaches and techniques. However, a common factor is the inspiration in Geometric values either motivated by technology, spiritual or intellectual feelings, to celebrate the essence of visual purity and absolute color. Bo Mi Jo Artworks are examples of equilibrium and structural clarity. Our perception of exquisiteness associated with elegance is delighted by their perfection and attractiveness, fulfilling the pleasure of visual contemplation that paradoxically is the closer feeling to an ecstasy obtained by intellectual observation. Following the Minimalist Art, which used pure geometric form stripped to its austere essentials as the primary language of expression, in her one of a kind Artworks, Bo Mi Jo has conceived the geometric tradition transforming it into her own artistic vocabulary. Represented by Contemporary Art Projects USA at Art Santa Fe 2018, the outstanding Artwork by Bo Mi Jo, entitled Romantic Monday, will securely become a highlight for the Art Fair and a key interpretation of the ALLURE theme of this year Fair.

For the presentation of her artistic work, Amalia has said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My images come from photographs I

take in streets, museums or train stations... The people I paint have a place in my Universe. They come and go. Some appear to be in a hurry, and some are distracted, thoughtful, mysterious, lonely, or lost in the distance. Each person has his own story.â&#x20AC;? Undoubtedly, Amalia Brujis has made the subject of Humanity an exquisite artistic celebration conceived in her own style, opening new emotions for the contemplation of Art by her viewers, as her works also include beauty, love for Nature and are remarkable uplifting, as well as greatly executed in technique with a masterly treatment of color and texture.

Carol Carpenter, award winning artist born in the USA in 1948, is a native to the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area. A graduate of Antioch University in Art and Psychology, she spent the early years of her career working in psychiatric hospitals and universities as a research associate and therapist. Later, she taught for many years painting to seniors at a community college. Painting has always been a passion. As an intuitive painter she uses experimental processes and a saturated palette to create vivid works of organic abstract art. While her painting often tackles familiar subject matter, such as landscapes and floral elaborations, her rich colors set her depictions apart approaching a Modern Expressionistic style. In her exquisitely mastered paintings viewers deeply enjoy and appreciate her approach to Abstract Art that transcends a door leading to a deeper simultaneous feeling of the effect of color, form and symbol to reach intimate sensations and experiences. The father of Abstract Art, Vassily Kandinsky, 1866-1944, said that viewers have two experiences when observing a palette filled with color: first, is purely physical enjoyment and fascination for the colors’ beauty. Viewers with more artistic maturity will perceive the qualities in diverse subject matter and have a deeper emotional appreciation which leads to a higher level of emotional commotion. The effect of contemplating color leading to a psychology feeling was defined as ‘soul vibration’. Color strength became a route to the artist’s soul, as it happens with Carol Carpenter’s art. She says: “Creating works of art is a compelling life force. It

encompasses passion, spontaneity, intellect and self-discovery. My art is not politically or culturally eye-opening. It is simply meant to appeal to the senses and heighten the human experience.” Abstract American artists stand in the vanguard

of creating a new visual language. International artists came to America and New York dominated the art scene replacing Paris as the Art Capital of the World. They created something new to express aspiration, freedom and cultural values on a global scale, transcending national boundaries and cultures. Carpenter has exhibited her work at Art Fairs, Biennials, Galleries and Museums in the United States, Europe and Asia. In 2017-2018, she has participated in the following collective exhibitions: Chianciano Museum of Art, Italy; MAMAG Modern Art Museum, Austria; Barcelona European Museum of Modern Art, Spain; Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Japan; Carousel du Louvre, France; Ateneo de Madrid, Spain. Art Fairs include: Art Expo New York; Spectrum Miami; ICFF New York; Art Expo Rome; Gallery representation includes: Agora, NYC; Art Blend, Ft. Lauderdale; Art Fusion, Miami; Effetto Arte, Italy; Arte Werkkunst, Berlin; Monteolieveto, Naples/Paris; OXO Tower, London; Studio Abba, Florence. In addition, she has received numerous art awards and is published in art magazines and books. Represented by Contemporary Art Projects USA at Art Santa Fe 2018, Carol Carpenter’s unique and impressive art works entitled Serendipity and River Walk are landmarks of her fantastic and attractive creativity in the Abstract genre, following the ALLURE theme of this year’s Fair.

Sofia Chitikov lives and works in Washington, D.C. She is a self-taught RussianAmerican contemporary visual artist, who focuses on abstract mixed media textural work. Her Art is innovative and unique, each of her Artworks conceived in her own created style. They have an elegant color display of only gold and textures, as well as pure black or white merged with pink, violet or an exquisite palette with selected bright colors. Sofia Chitikov says: “Enquiry into the truth of

the self is knowledge (Hindu Upanishads). I believe that when we get to know ourselves, we get to know the world. When we accept and love ourselves for all that we are, we begin to love and accept those around us. To love is to know. To love is to understand. Through my work, I challenge the reductionist tendencies of viewing human beings in absolute terms; as either good or bad, black or white, rich or poor. My goal is to showcase the complexity and the nuances of human nature by unifying contrasting elements and creating depth and dimension with layers. My latest body of work, Dragons and Unicorns, questions the notion of good and evil and rejects its simplicity. Each piece in the series re-imagines these polarities. I invite the viewer to take a second look, to peel the layers, to discover the lighter side of dragons and the darker side of unicorns. Dragons and unicorns inside all of us. Only in fairy tales can these mythical creatures exist in their purest form. The reality is much more dimensional, vibrant, and messy. I bring these elements to life by creating layers with plastic and resin. When the foundation is ready, I continue to build and enhance with variety of other materials, including acrylic paint, glass, markers, ink and gold leaf. The end result is 'balanced chaos' that begs to be examined, understood and accepted." Her work is part of private collections in Chicago, NYC, Washington DC and London. Among others, Chitikov exhibited at The Other Art Fair 2018 and 2017, Brooklyn, NY; in 2017: West Loop Art Fair and Conception Art Show, Chicago, IL; Amsterdam International Art Fair, Netherlands; Tokyo International Art Fair, Japan, and in the Group exhibits: The Art League Gallery, juried by Alvis Fleming, Alexandria, VA; Art+Word, Little Carriage House Gallery, Oak Park, IL; and at Expo Chicago “Art after hours”, Nasty Women Art Show, State of the Art Pop Up, Art Hearts, Fulton Street Collective Gallery, all in Chicago, IL. Presented by Contemporary Art Projects USA at Art Santa Fe 2018, Sofia Chitikov exhibits five impressive artworks from the Dragons+Unicorns Series, respectively entitled The Aftermath, Dragon’s Quest, Invasive thoughts, Eden in Bloom, and Unicorn gone rogue: the journal. For their unique style and innovative message, the Artworks by Sofia Chitikov are highlights for the ALLURE theme of this year's Art Fair.

mission to make people aware that we are living in a modern-day renaissance, which we sometimes don't realize. I believe in telling stories with my work and for the last twelve years of my twenty-eight years old journey, I have devoted to doing that through the digital arts. What makes me different is my resourceful use of red and blue colored lighting with abstract symbolism on metal prints... Besides all that I am a proud citizen of Suriname, my Eldorado. I think it's a wonderful time to be alive and hope my character can be seen and felt through my work." Endless adjectives define his beautiful, impressive Art, his photographical Artworks are exquisite, sophisticate, uplifting, meaningful, imposing, innovative, clever, well executed and technically impeccable. Presented by Contemporary Art Projects USA at Art Santa Fe 2018, Giano Currie exhibits Fire and Love based in a flower from his home country Suriname called “Faya Lobi” (fiery love), and Interstellar Thoughts inspired by his belief that everything we see was created in the mind, source of infinite ideas and creation. The Heavens, as far as we know, are infinite just like the mind and there is strong correlation between the two. Mind and Heavens as one in the same thing, was the spark that ignited his artistic conception. Giano Currie greatly honors the ALLURE theme of the Fair.

Chris Delias was born and lives in Vienna, Austria. Delias has followed the development of the contemporary North European Expressionist artistic schools, an Art genre that he has cleverly transported to our time with his unique Art that is also inspired by the constant presence of social media to express and accomplish the need of communicating among global people today. Delias does it through meaningful art, created to portray our society issues, everyday facts and events, fashions and people, with strong and colorful expressions, natural and unforgettable. Delias is motivated by Cell-phones used as a cameras taking selfies to post in Social Media pages to be seen through cell-phones or computers; in his Artworks he depicts the logos and the use of digital symbols to reduce wording or sentences using 'emojis' or 'emoticons' to shorten our language, expressing with one image what we feel or think on anything happening in our life, making to communicate universal for anybody, no matter location or language, going beyond the nature of the event portrayed. The artist says: " Social Media revolutionized the way we

communicate making easier to stay connected. Everything that makes our lives easier and faster has a chance to be successful, but it leaves a gap between the digital and the real. My art intends to close this gap... My art should depict emotions, humans, faces in a way you can't find in our digitalized society. For me the spotlight is on the beauty of humanity, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my first priority: emotions, love, music, harmony... But, not only the sunny side of the world is represented in my art: people don't just love one another, they hate and fight, they lose, feel intense pain, experience crushing war and destruction, all of which as part of human interaction... However, to create an impact my work does not show reality 1:1, as the colors, proportions and poses I use are reflective of my emotions and feelings during the painting process. It is an interactive realism process between my soul, the model or person, and the canvas. My art is a projection of the reality to my soul." To balance the digital era Chris Delias also shows todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world in his Artworks. For Art Santa Fe Delias will exhibit two unique impressive Artworks that are meaningful and symbolic for our society: Bicycle Race to highlight the need for physical activities and sports developed in open air, an image that we see frequently in our cities during the weekend, practiced by people of any age and genre. Red High Hills as the irony on a World missing moral or ethics, where a pair of shoes might be able to conquer it all. The high hills and their red color seeing also as a symbol of attraction and passion. Presented by Contemporary Art Projects USA, Delias exhibited in 2017 at Art Santa Fe, NM; in the group show Variations on the same Subjects: People, Nature and Geometry at the ArtsPark Gallery of Hollywood, FL; in the Solo Exhibition #CityLife at MDC West Campus Art Gallery Doral; at Art Palm Beach 2018, FL, and at Art Santa Fe 2018, NM.

Leo Di Tomaso is an Italian-Venezuelan Artist specialized in photography. He is a sensitive and human person, with an acute eye for detail, balance and composition. Di Tomaso cleverly and rapidly captures the exact action, subject and background to portray, expertly selecting to develop it either in color or in B & W. His images are an invitation to action and to experience. His goal is to understand and share other people's feelings, as well as to promote solutions or improvement for good, making images more joyful to the viewer. One artistic photograph by Leonardo Di Tomaso was awarded 2nd place in the Conceptual Art Category at the International 2017 Competition of the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts in Tampa. During many years, before becoming an artist on his own, Di Tomaso created Di Tomaso Photography to develop his talent for photography providing exquisite personalized service on-location for a large number of well known artists, galleries and studios, as well as at his studio located in Wynwood Art District. Represented by Contemporary Art Projects USA, Di Tomaso exhibited in Art Boca 2018. Today, while conceiving more innovative interpretations of the image in the field of Photography, Leonardo Di Tomaso says about his new body of work: "In the search for the fundamental decomposition of the basic component of the image and inspired in the studies made during the 60's by Salvador Dali (1904-1989,Catalonia,Spain) to follow the invention of the digital image by NASA,I begun to combine pixelated elements to conform images. Sometime later, I observed the results of the advancement in Quantum Physics and the concept of 'fractal' and I decided to combine both, in order to create images, whose foundation was the pixelation of the resulting image made with images that repeated themselves almost infinitely." Quantum Physics is a fundamental theory that describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles. The word quantum derives from the Latin, meaning "how great" or "how much". A Pixel is the smallest element of an image that can be individually processed in a video display system. Presented by Contemporary Art Projects USA at Art Santa Fe 2018, Leo Di Tomaso will exhibit two remarkable Artworks from his creative inspiration by using an endless number of his own photographs on the subject as pixels for the final resulting image. In the first Artwork, entitled Fractal Mona Lisa, the image is based on a photograph taken by Di Tomaso of one of his posters' collection of paintings by Colombian master Fernando Botero (b. 1932). The second Artwork, entitled Fractal Pet and made in the pixelated fractal manner devised by Di Tomaso, depicts a lovely friendly dog, directly staring at his viewers. For their inspiring meaning, so significant and fitting to our time, as well as for their unique mastered technique, these innovative images will be an impact for our Booth at Art Santa Fe and also a novel depiction for the ALLURE theme of this year's Fair.

Loyal to a greener planet, Francisco recycles and reuses soda cans, converting in his single pictorial media the tin from the cans that he cleverly cuts and assembles. POP Art, color, shapes and textures are his language. This Artist reaches the unimaginable, when his varied subjects, usually inspired by nature, human history and development, become at the same time a declaration of ecology and protection for our planet. By the magic of Art, Francisco Sheuat transforms contaminating discarded garbage in everlasting idyllic and attractive Artworks. Deeply recognized by the community where he lives, his artworks have been shown at museums, galleries and art fairs. His Art has received numerous awards and is part of prestigious collections worldwide. At Contemporary Art Projects USA we feel very proud to present a selection of Artworks by Francisco Sheuat in our Booth at Art Santa Fe: a unique artwork entitled The Apparition and the exquisite installation of nine small pieces from the Mandala Series. Artist Statement UPCYCLED ART, by Francisco Sheuat: "Attempting to share my

commitment to a greener planet, recycling and reuse are an ongoing theme in my works. In the process of growing and evolving, I found myself exploring the parameters of pop art and making aluminum cans my main media. My art reflects an expressive emotional response to my present being and a projection of the future. As a creator of art, I manipulate and incorporate aluminum soda cans and apply texture onto the surface out of a necessity to transfer an internal emotion into an external form. The pieces project a holographic-like feel because the embossing and distressing techniques applied to the metal. Color, shapes, patterns and textures are my language. They speak to me as I lay pieces of cans down in a dance with the surface and watch it take shape and form in its own time." ALLURE is the theme selected this year for the Art Santa Fe Fair. Among the interesting statements on the subject presented by the Fair, I have selected some phrases that directly connect with the Art of Francisco Sheuat, making this Artist a significant protagonist for Art Santa Fe 2018: "ALLURE as the undeniable power of

contemporary and modern art to captivate, seduce, and charm buyers, collectors, and dealers... The allure of contemporary and modern art is mysteriously and undeniably powerful. Whether you're captivated by an artist's ability to layer deep meaning in one piece, seduced by unmatched artistic technique, or fascinated by a work's ability to provoke personal transformation or social change, there's no denying art's power."

Adele Venter obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art with a major in sculpture at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. As well as, she completed a photography course at Sait in Calgary, Canada, and as a result, Adele has chosen photography as her artistic medium. Adele Venter reflects her sculptural background, when to conceive her artworks she uses three-dimensional miniature objects to build narrative landscapes. In the following step of her creative process these miniatures are then photographed and positioned in the resulting artwork, where three dimensions are translated into two. Adele Venter artworks are impressive and uplifting, either in technique as in their meaning. As Adele has followed the path opened by the Art of the Great Masters that from the early Renaissance until today, have depicted groups of several human figures anonymously interacting with each other or with the nature described in the landscapes surrounding them. Among these Great Masters, just naming a few: Hieronymus Bosch, Dutch painter, c. 1450 – 1516, known for using fantastic imagery to depict moral and religious ideas or local myths, and Juan Genovés, born 1930, Valencia, Spain, who has been concerned with both, the function of art and the artist in society. Juan Genovés has been a master in representing "human crowds" on a diversity of backgrounds to communicate his unique beliefs and feelings. Visual Art is a transforming human activity, both for its ever-changing forward development, as well as for the impact that creates in the viewer. Adele Venter shows her concern for the environment that inspired her to conceive and present a new approach to figurative Art by merging pictorial and sculptural depictions with photography representation. Through her artistic work, the still movement in painting and the dynamic of a moving crowd has become a contemporary indication of the solutions referred to the problem of solving painting and visual rhythm, as well as to represent and/or to join the bidimensional and the tri-dimensional on a flat surface. Adele Venter has exhibited in international Art Galleries and Art Fairs, such as at Newtown Gallery and at the Civic Theater Gallery, both in Johannesburg, South Africa; Artbox Gallery in New York, NY; San Francisco MOMA, San Francisco, CA; Art Expo New York and participated in the International Prize RAFFAELLO, Italy. At Art Santa Fe, represented by Contemporary Art Projects USA, Adele Venter will exhibit four of her unique and exquisite artworks, respectively entitled Lilly Pad, Pink Fan, Sitting Circle and Japanese Rose. The uniqueness and delicacy of her Art is also a great representation for the theme ALLURE selected for this year's Fair.

American artist New York based, Amber Warren, draws inspiration from her passions for travel, music, fashion, and personal growth. Amber says: "My goal is to

be creative every day. Whether it's making dinner for friends, creating a beautiful piece of art, or dancing to a full moon; that is what feeds my soul." Following the arrival of prints, photography and video artist needed to express in canvas or other media their feelings through Abstractionism based on composing colors, shapes and forms to obtain an artistic purpose. To represent real or non-real objects, or only pure abstract space or surface, newly created shapes interacted in endless combinations to achieve new meanings and representations, including to distort subject-matter, to obtain artworks not entirely figurative, nor abstract. As we can see in the unique and exquisite Artworks by Amber Warren this Artists has a variety of themes and styles all included in the path of Abstraction and in the depiction of organic themes, using either one only or a variety of a sophisticated palette of colors. Amber employs diverse materials like resin, modeling paste, metals and paper to create dimensional abstract artworks. Her compositions are richly textured and boldly gestural. Abstract Art doesn't represent things pictorially, it expresses artists ideas or sensations through simplified or invented forms, as to abstract is to take out, to separate or to remove, like you contemplate in the diverse unique Artworks by Amber Warren. She pushes the boundaries of twodimensional painting with nonrepresentational works. The pigments and materials layering create physical and psychological depth. Amber says: “I’ve always had a

fascination for textures, whether they are formed naturally outside or intricately woven in textiles. My goal is to bring layers and depth to my artwork so there is always interest for the wandering eye.” At the beginning of Abstraction, in three different cities Munich, Paris and Moscow, Dutch Piet Mondrian, 1872-1944, and Russian Kasimir Malevich, 1878-1935, created art without the object, only with color or drawing, expressing only the essential, as Amber Warren masterly demonstrates today with her impressive Art depictions. Abstract Expressionism was the first American movement to win international recognition, with Chromatic Abstractionists and Action Painters. By 1950, a vanguard of varied styles, the New York School, introduced Abstract Expressionism. New York Greenwich Village embraced this artistic community that enclosed artists like Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Hans Hoffman and Arshile Gorky, joined by American born artists like Jackson Pollock, 1912-1956. Artists radical Abstract styles promoted two ideas: spontaneous concept and dramatic increase on scale. Represented by Contemporary Art Projects USA at Art Santa Fe 2018, Amber Warren remarkable Artworks entitled Currency and Moneda are an attraction for the Art Fair and a key representation of the ALLURE theme of this year Fair.
