About the Item

Few artists in Venezuela have the fortune of the affection and the overwhelming admiration of the city that saw them born, like the one expressed by Barquisimeto and the Barquisimetanos by the maestro Jesús Armando Villalón. Born in the capital of the state Lara on July 6, 1945 into an emerging middle-class family, the now renowned landscaper ventured into the visual arts as a father of a family and after having built a solid economic and employment stability, thanks to your business skills. However, these well-deserved achievements, the product of his work and effort to ensure the well-being of his family, did not dampen his deepest youthful desires to be a painter. Around the age of 30, in 1974, he began his formal preparation in the plastic arts by enrolling in the art workshop of the master Ramón Díaz Lugo, one of the most consistent disciples of the master Rafael Monasterios, who is considered part of the precursors of the landscape movement in Venezuela at the beginning of the 20th century. Almost immediately the young Villalón showed extraordinary qualities to recreate the landscape. Disciplined in his lessons, but without compromising his plastic convictions, he quickly managed to define his own style characterized by the strong and short stroke, widely inspired by the Impressionist masters of Europe, whose work he had the opportunity to study in depth thanks to the indissoluble support of his wife Ysabel, who along with her two young children, did not hesitate to embark with the artist on his journey to complement his artistic training in the old continent. In 1981, the master Villalón arrived in the Spanish capital, where he took drawing and painting classes at the prestigious Arjona Studio and at the Serigraphy and Engraving Workshop in Madrid. By then, the work of the "Pintor del Turbio" was widely known in the main cities of Venezuela: Caracas, Valencia, Maracay, Maracaibo and of course his native Barquisimeto, where he had conquered prestigious galleries and exhibition centers. But once again, his natural dissatisfaction led him away from the comfort of fame, to continue his insatiable search for excellence, a journey that had begun in Spain with the meticulous study of the Impressionists, especially the Iberian painters Joaquín Sorolla and Joaquín Mir, whose work a captive confesses during this stage of his life. The instructive experience in Europe was completed by his brief but intense passage through Paris, London, Rome, Munich and Amsterdam, always in the footsteps of the great masters of universal art. Again in Venezuela, in the mid-1980s, he managed to mature his line. And after arduous inquiries about the shades of light in the successive 30 years, the master Villalón manages to establish himself as an award-winning creator of atmospheres. His palette is as chromatic as it is genuine, which is why it was quickly attacked by critics and collectors with the title: "Painter of the Mist." As expected, the overwhelming scenes of indecipherable firmaments or the intoxicating accumulation of sensations generated by its closed spaces, did not take long to arouse the interest of galleries, museums and exhibition halls throughout the country. The conquests of these spaces and in the specific artistic confrontations in which he decided to participate, because he never saw himself as a prize hunter, vindicated the landscape in the national plastic scene and beyond his latitudes. A restless and persevering researcher, the master Villalón constantly innovates and does not settle easily. His work is the result of a disciplined, formal and planned work that has guaranteed him the plastic coherence necessary to be exalted as a Master. His four decades of experience make him a benchmark of national contemporary art and an ambassador of the Venezuelan landscape today, when his work is widely desired and valued in other countries, mainly the United States.

Israeli Motke Blum Modernist Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting Bezalel Artist

By Motke Blum

Located in Surfside, FL

Motke Blum was born in Racacun, Romania in 1925. Early in his childhood, the Blum family moved to Bucharest where they settled in a house situated near a circus. The circus would become young Blum's greatest love. He befriended several of the clowns and other performers and, when not painting or playing in clay, Blum could be found enjoying the company of these spirited entertainers. These experiences would later become a recurring theme in many of his works of art. In 1938, he was taken by the Romanian Iron Guard. When the Germans invaded Romania, Blum was taken to a forced labor camp. Even during his imprisonment, he continued to create art, painting on the walls of the camp. He escaped the Nazi camp in 1944 and boarded an immigrants' ship to Israel. One of the three ships in the convoy was sunk by a German torpedo. Motke later incorporated shipwrecks, boats, and other maritime subjects into several of his paintings. Studies, Bezalel, Jerusalem, Enamel, Silversmithing, Painting and Sculpture. 1956 Seminar in the dep. of design in the royal silver factory of Zeist, The Netherlands. Over the course of his long and fruitful career, Blum showed internationally at over fifty one-man-shows with exhibits in Israel, Holland, England, Belgium, the United States, France, Australia, and more. His art has been commissioned for public buildings and by prominent figures in Israel and around the world, and a series of posters were commissioned by the Justice Ministry and the Ministry of Tourism.
