All works are ink on paper, rendered directly onto the page free hand. The drawings are composed of _gures, portraits, letters, and shapes. The myriad of characters and large graphic shapes compliment each other in the total composition of his drawings and murals Glexis Novoa Glexis Novoa renders cityscapes and their instruments of conflict like peering into a curio cabinet and coming face-to-horizon with societal apocalypse in miniature. His graphite drawings on marble are almost voyeuristic in their detail. Glexis Novoa was born in Holguin, Cuba and lives and works in Miami. He studied at the National School of Art, Havana and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, ME.

I like to associate objects, like crashed cars, graffiti, allegories, or urban landscapes in different environments where, human vision is shown beyond any anguish from attachments of present values as Capitalism for example. My work is an attempt to build computer-based works as art pieces beneath a mask of impeccability, fantasy, coldness and simplicity.

VIC MUNIZ

Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1978, when subway trains inspired gra_ti sub-culture

and Sesame Street aired on black and white television. Curious inspirations in these

mediums morphed into his life's pursuit as an artist.

In his works, Muñiz acts as a kind of mediator between inspiration and his pen. His

honest and organic work retraces the thin line between innocence and perversion as

both elements are allowed to play side by side without guilt or regret, leaving the

viewer with a giddy sense of spontaneity.

All works are ink on paper, rendered directly onto the page free hand. The drawings

are composed of _gures, portraits, letters, and shapes. The myriad of characters and

large graphic shapes compliment each other in the total composition of his drawings

and murals

Valdivieso’s work is private collections, including: Liza and Arturo Mosquera’s, Mario Cáder-Frech’s, Francie Bishop Good’s, and Steve Lanster’s.

In Valdivieso’s words: “For many years, I’ve been working with pieces, from which audience could create personal lectures beginning from nonsense, fantasy and, social facts in the contemporary world, using photography, club design, graphics, animation, video, and electronic music as my media.

I like to associate objects, like crashed cars, graffiti, allegories, or urban landscapes in different environments where, human vision is shown beyond any anguish from attachments of present values as Capitalism for example.

My work is an attempt to build computer-based works as art pieces beneath a mask of impeccability, fantasy, coldness and simplicity.

In addition to that, I am part of Talking Head Transmitters an experimental low - frequency radio program transmitted at 1610 AM as a way to build direct interaction with the spectators.”
