For the seventh consecutive year, the Altos de Chav\u00f3n Cultural Center Foundation presents \u201dArt CHAV\u00d3N 2017\u201d: a charitable event whose main objective is to raise financial resources for the scholarship fund of the CHAV\u00d3N The School of Design, offering\u00a0the public the opportunity to acquire the artistic work developed by students and other local and international artists. Stephen Kaplan, director of the school, invites us to go\u00a0\u201cBack to\u00a0the Future\u201d\u00a0this wonderful activity that will take place here in our very own\u00a0\u201cArtists Village\u201d\u00a0Altos de Chav\u00f3n the 29th of Marzo at 6:30pm.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BACK TO THE FUTURE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ann Parker\u2019s iconic, hand-printed photographic images of exotic locales, including her and Avon Neal\u2019s adventures in and around the Dominican Republic, are just the beginning. There\u2019s a multitude of students\u2019 precisely detailed geometric color studies in gouache and tempera. You\u2019ll find shimmering portraits, as well as Gaspar Mario Cruz\u2019s legendary twin folk-figure totems carved in the 1950s from two massive Dominican mahogany trees, a bequest of Francine Parnes, whose father purchased them after the artist stunned the Santo Domingo art world with these works at the 1963 Biennial.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s just the beginning of this year\u2019s Art CHAV\u00d3N\u2014the ultimate potpourri and a bit of back to the future. Not merely something for everyone, there\u2019s everything for everyone: whatever your predilection, the taste level is undisputable. Figure studies from the 1930s retrieved from archives of studio work are here, as are Roberto Copa\u2019s idiosyncratic drawings of fanciful butterflies and sea creatures, and recent student works\u2014many of them figurative, as in years past, but so charmingly fresh, so full of youthful energy that they seem to dance in their frames before our eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Art CHAV\u00d3N includes works from previous years\u2019 exhibitions that miraculously went unbought, so strong that they begged for a new audience. There are the leaf mosaics and petal paintings of Frank Lara, who took this year\u2019s first-prize in\u00a0Diario Libre\u2019s best contemporary artist competition, an accolade that now includes an invitation to show his work in a New York gallery. You\u2019ll discover playful work by Cuban artist Wilfredo Torres; decorative, color-drenched paintings and sculptures by Fernando Tamburini; silk-screen works by a Danish artist in residence; and ceramic heads, torsos, and figures that recall the rich history of figurative sculpture from Giacometti to Lachaise. In contrast, there are nonobjective three-dimensional pieces, works of German and Caribbean expressionism, and objects, antiquities, folk art, and more. There are landscapes, seascapes, \u201cskyscapes,\u201d and views of CHAV\u00d3N. The work is often derivative of great art and equally often unexpectedly frank and new. Some of the visual, conceptual text of the artists\u2019 messages can be read in an instant, while others are full of ambiguity and mystery, drawing you into their worlds of color and texture.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2017 Art CHAV\u00d3N exhibition opens March 29th<\/sup>. and is a show not to be missed. Bring your checkbook or credit card, because proceeds from the sale of these works go to support this year\u2019s Fine Arts students who are unable to pay tuition and who need the vote of approval your purchase of an Art CHAV\u00d3N piece confers. And beyond that good deed is the serendipity of having, here in your own picturesque \u201cback yard,\u201d an art institution and an art bazaar like no other.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show will be on view at The Altos de Chav\u00f3n Gallery until April 30th.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
