The way to the art car parade was a pain in the ass for the virtual star of the art car parade. A low-hanging branch over the road had demolished the steering wheel of his creation and made it uncontrollable. Here, however, the special service for my blog readers: scrapDaddy had set his machine in action especially for “your” video. Absolutely amazing what he has invented! He would had been the absolute favorite to win the award. Super sad and tragic for him, who has invested so much working hours, creativity, enthusiasm and passion.

Fabio D’Aroma was born in Pescara, Italy in 1973 and graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome in 1997, with his thesis studies concentrated on Caravaggio. Since 2001, he has been working primarily in the United States, mostly in New York although also spending periods in Chicago, Miami, and Houston. In 2008, he began to work on Retrocorionica, a project in which he scans and digitally assembles his similarly formatted oil paintings to create a frieze that combines historical techniques but could only be created with the use of technology. He has exhibited at galleries between the United States and Europe. Fabio is currently living and working in houston.

Next upcoming exhibition will be at the g-gallery / houston in may 2015.

Awesome! Nice job! Love it! Great! so it echoed from everywhere, when the visitors of houstons art car parade celebrate their 28th. happing.

Gus Kopriva of the redbud gallery in houston had invited me in the vip lounge of the parade, thank you gus !!! It was a great happening, some cars were only painted, others converted artfully and with a huge effort. A typical american parade for the good mood. © n.g.

The beloved Deep South, teeming with mythologies and rife with contradictions: simultaneously amusing yet horrifying, both historic but still frighteningly current – welcome to the world of b. moody art!  Brad Moody’s work is narrative, frequently drawing upon a personal, as well as regional, consciousness where each work tells a separate story or struggle, often evoking emotion with the loaded imagery of Southern iconography and stereotypes.  The titles of many of his works, “Fields of Cotton and Chanel No. 5”, “Welcome to 1^st Baptist Church”, “Junky Gay Boy”, “…they said it was In The Blood” – hint at the depths of the artist’s continuing exploration of the social issues of race, religion, gender, matriarchal power and redemption that he confronts and that fuel his passion.

A few months ago I posted an article about wayne gilbert, at that time his exhibition got installed in the station museum. Now, some time ago it has opened and you can watch here a remarkable video and a statement about his art. © ng
