“Many things come to me in my trips,” says artist José Bedia. “I see myself as a kind of anthropologist. I do field work, I collect things and take notes — and then the ideas start to come out.”
The ideas pour out in his powerful, outsize drawings, paintings and installations, which are full of references to his physical and spiritual journeys. Nearly 30 of his pieces are being presented in “Transcultural Pilgrim: Three Decades of Work by José Bedia,” at the Fowler Museum at UCLA from Sept. 18 to Jan. 8.

La exposición se abre al público general.
El Museo Fowler de UCLA presenta “Pilgrim Transcultural: Tres décadas de trabajo de José Bedia” una exposición que reúne 28 pinturas de gran formato, dibujos figurativos y una instalación para ofrecer una amplia retrospectiva del destacado artista cubano de la conocida como “Generación del 80″.
…
La retrospectiva del trabajo de Bedia se desarrolla como una narración de los viajes transculturales que ha hecho. En la primera sección de la exposición incluye ocho obras que tienen que ver con su participación en la religión afrocubana Palo Monte, que ha practicado desde principios de 1980 en Cuba.
Las obras en la siguiente sección describe la crónica de Bedia en su viaje por México, así como sus estudios con los pueblos Lakota y las visitas a los chamanes en el Amazonas peruano.
Otra agrupación de sus obras cuenta con cuatro obras que rinden homenaje a figuras revolucionarias del Caribe, que combinaron sus creencias religiosas con un fuerte sentido de activismo y la justicia social.
Tres últimas pinturas, de aproximadamente 15 pies de ancho, reflejan el interés de muchos años de Bedia por el arte africano, así como las peregrinaciones que hizo a Zambia para trabajar con los adivinos y ver bailes de máscaras.

The historian Kenneth Clark purveyed the eventual end to abstraction, citing a cultural need for a fidelity to the real world in real time imagery. In a world significantly gutted with imagery, abstraction at present is about creating a new space in which to think about present day life.
Pissed Elegant is representative of those concerns past and present.
Stephen Cohen Gallery is pleased to announce, Pissed Elegance, a group show of abstract works. The exhibition will showcase a variety of media including painting, photography and sculpture. Featured artists include Arthur Siegel, Ed Ruscha, Arthur Ou, Brian Wall, John McLaughlin, Siri Kaur Bronlyn Jones, James Gobel, Benjamin Lord, Bob Magahay, Enrique Martinez Celaya, Chad Kleitsch, Jason David, Robert Stivers, Monique Prieto and Danny Jauregui. An opening reception will be held Saturday, May 14 from 7 to 9 p.m.
