Networking Through The Arts

We are not robots that need to memorize our lines in order to get a good job interview, yet networking seems to be the new poor man's(unemployed)way to stay in the race. Networking actually bring people with specific needs together and allow them a place to reconstruct, reenergize and hope. I get my fix from the collaboration and participation artists partake. Sol Studio Art is that place, a sanctuary for the arts to mingle and inspire. I am very gratefull to all the people that have walked through the studio in this spirit of collaboration and peace. Musicians, poets, visual artists, theater directors, actors, teachers, educators, ceo's and landscapers, I thank you for the gift you have shared with me at Sol Studio Art. Till next one, peace.solange

Commentary: Jazz In The House

When you go out to listen to Jazz and realize that one of the listeners with front row sit is a cat, then you know that the music must great.That is what happened last night at Sol Studio Art Jazz NIght Out. Messy, my live model for two of my new paintings and house pet came in and sat on the front row while Duriye & Friends jammed to a soft easy listening jazz. The evening went quite well and the crowd as always diverse and refreshing. Old friends and new ones to be made, cultivating relatinships, connecting with each other in a setting that encourages freedom of expression, that is what the space is about. I am blessed to be exposed to such great giants both in art and life. Thanks to all who activelly participated and gave. Our happenings are casual and warm and we do appreciate the uplifting and positive comments, thus validating our mission at Sol Studio Art. peace, sol.

October Happenings, 2009

I am happy to start the fall season with Durye & Friends.
The queen of conga will charm you with her beat, her journey has taken her to far away lands and back to Dallas. She has performed with a lot of our talented cats here in Dallas, playing Latin, Jazz, Rock, Folk and Funk, her style is the style of the heart, the beat that keeps you dancing.

I am excited to have new works in the gallery, these works are more figurative, less abstract, the images come from my immediate surroundings, my imagination, and they represent places, people, things and experiences.

Duriye and Friends
Friday, October 2nd --8pm-11pm

Sol Studio Art showcases works by visual artists: Ximena Mariel, Neva Everett & Alfredo Salazar

On March 29th, 2009 Sol Studio Art was proud to showcase works by three new young artists and students of Brookhaven Community College. All three have been accepted to the Art Institute Of Chicago.
Ximena Mariel works in fiber, her installation titled The Summer Game was inspired by an actual underwater game where the artist as the main character dives to the bottom of a pool taking with her an orange patio chair. Pushing the boundaries of the imagination, Ximena utilizes threads and photographs taken of herself underwater with the chair. The instalation has a web like quality thus enticing the viewer to a closer inspection. The piece is a part 1 of a line of stories Ximena intends to tell. According to the artist her work is about the process, the materials and the meaning they convey. She uses herself as the subject of her themes in a portrait like manner.
Alfredo Salazar is a sculptor working in wood and plaster, Salazar confronts us with hands and eyes peeking and poking through organic forms. There is a hidden message in every piece, their forms transform as you walk around them. There is a truth and respect to materials where their nature is not hidden, plaster is plaster and wood is wood. As stated by the artist "it is about the duality between conflict and resolution."
Neva Everett showcased drawings, paintings and b/w photographs. Her Self Portrait in charcoal exemplifies her drawing skills and complements her b/w photographs of people, places and things. Her paintings display a certain surrrealism as her themes. Her palette is warm and yet neutral, her subjects seem to stare at you from all angles.
