Hernan Bas: Occult Contemporary at Lehmann Maupin, NY

15 March – 21 April 2012

Opening Reception
Thursday, 15 March 2012, 6-8 PM

Lehmann Maupin Gallery

540 West 26th Street
New York, NY 10001

Drawing from his interest in the supernatural, Hernan Bas’s Occult Contemporary responds to the recent proliferation of the occult in mass media with a presentation of new paintings depicting a representation of the devil based on traditional texts and folklore. Playing on the term “Adult Contemporary,” used to describe a light genre of popular music, the title of Bas’s show plays on this act of genre-fication which has made the presence of the occult and supernatural in books, movies, and t.v. accessible to children and young adults, extinguishing any aura of danger or taboo that the occult once held, and consequently, resulting in varying representations and visual depictions of the devil that stray from those detailed in real folklore.

Demi to exhibit at Arteamerica

March 2 -March 5, 2012

Miami Beach Convention Center,
1901 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach, Florida.
Cremata Gallery Booth #912

Cremata Gallery is pleased to present at Arteamerica  a solo exhibition of paintings by DEMI, one of the most critically acclaimed Cuban-American artists in the United States. The exhibition is an extensive body of work, executed within the past five years by a painter known for her mastery of color, light, and texture.  The exhibition will open on Friday, March 2 at 7 p.m. and will continue until Monday, March 5.

DEMI’s work is highly acclaimed and has been widely exhibited and published.

She has been represented in group and solo exhibitions for more than 25 years, and often uses her work as a forum to raise awareness for children’s rights.  Since

1998, the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art has been collecting DEMI’s primary records (correspondence, notebooks, drawings, photographs, catalogues).

In 2009, DEMI was personally invited by the U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, Miguel Diaz, to display one of her work in the U.S. Embassy residence in the Vatican City.

The painting,   Two Artists and Their Children of Their Imagination, will be on view for two and a half years as part of the prestigious ART IN EMBASSIES program.

DEMI’s work is featured in many public and private collections worldwide and have been widely exhibited in galleries and museums in Switzerland, France, Panama, Puerto Rico and the United States.
